As I stared at the floor I heard a voice—from within: “Don’t lean on your understanding, trust in the Lord with all your heart.” It gave me peace. An unusual presence was at my right hand, almost at my fingertips. I will never forget that. The meeting reconvened, and moments later the church overwhelmingly voted to dismiss the deacons who had falsely accused me. God brought us through, and we have now served twenty-one years at Westminster Chapel.
