in delinquency
«It has been our experience as a pastor to learn from the troubles of the church people that at times some folk have indeed missed the very sermons they needed when in delinquency they failed to be at church.»
Si parla di come Dio intervenga in modo e al momento opportuno nella vita delle persone con una benedizione o attraverso un sermone della domenica per rafforzarle spiritualmente e prepararle ad affrontare determinate prove, più o meno difficili, della vita. Se non vanno in chiesa e non ascoltano ciò che Dio ha preparato per il loro rafforzamento spirituale, (da quel che ho capito nel testo) si troveranno in tanti guai.
L'autore, che parla in prima persona della sua esperienza, è un pastore evangelico.
Grazie in anticipo per ogni aiuto,

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
