Euhm, security? I'd use an intval($id) or something to be sure it's not a
sql-injection.

You do know you don't HAVE to concate?
$insert = "INSERT INTO
join_comments (username, creation_stamp, id_people, id_ministry)
VALUES
('$_SESSION[valid_user]', '$datetime', '$_POST[id]','$id')";
Will work just fine, and saves some useless overhead.

1. Create an array of available id's from you database (mysql_query(),
mysql_fetch_array() loop).
2. Make sure it's the same format as your $_POST array.
3. array_walk(array_name,'intval') to make sure you have all integers.
4. $to_be_deleted = array_dif($available_array,$post_array).
5. foreach($to_be_deleted) loop delete.
If I see your code now, I'd say that you might benifit from some protection
from SQL-injections. Loop up the subject on google, expacially
mysql_real_escape_string() etc.
Never, ever, trust userdata, not even when they're logged in, trusted
users.
