I think the Wizard of Oz is out of business, so, I guess...church isn't a bad start.
I'll pray to the Lord on behalf of them as well... praying that their Jesus-hating, abortion-loving, libertine leaders will fail miserably.
New Living Translation.
"What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?" - King James Vesion
Wow! You really should reconsider your cold-heartedness. Maybe his motives are impure, but Christians are still tasked to pray for their enemies (he may not even really be your enemy). I know you've read that one somewhere in that NKJV of yours.
this is crap.
and of course there are millions of people who say that Christianity is whatever they believe it to be...
Dem prayer: "Thank you, Lord, that I'm not a conservative, or a heterosexual, pregnant (any more)."
SALVATION IS FROM THE LORD.
MY TIME ON MY KNEES IS BETTER SPENT ON MY CHRISTIAN FAMILY.
GODSPEED AND LET GOD SORT THE REST OF THEM OUT!

I HAVE HAD BRETHREN STAY HERE AT THE HOUSE THE LORD GAVE ME.
I WILL NOT PRAY FOR ABORTIONISTS OR THE PARTY THAT WANTS TO RUIN OUR CHILDRENS MINDS.
P.S. I DID NOT READ YOUR TAGLINE!
SEMPER FI!
YOU MUST BE ARMINIAN!
Rats are not looking for a way to find GOD. They are looking for a way to win elections!
If they find God, they would become Republicans.
One could only hope, dandiegirl, one could only hope....
Yes, moderately so. I would place myself more in the Wesleyan-Arminian camp. That being said, there are many moderate Calvinists I like as well. To me it doesn't really matter. I've been round and round about it most of my Christian walk and don't really get to hung up on it anymore. I just follow Christ.
But if it brings people to Jesus . . .
