OK, pray in addition to action. I have no problem with that. Many here seem to pray so they don't have to act. Not you though.
That is definitely not true. They have all done the same as or more than I.
I said TONIGHT we were called to pray.
Huh. Ya outta live in Southern California...talk about wanting to take ACTION!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boy.
Don't you dare go start another thread. You're cool...hang around. Or I'll knock you up the side of the head, bless your heart. :)
I have written, I have emailed, and I've gotten on the phone with senators and tried not to break down in tears.
I have anxiety issues and I don't do well talking to people I don't know, but I gave it my best shot, even though I was shaking and felt like I was going to throw up.
I won't stop after this is over either. Several people I know are in the planning stages of something big and I'm going to see this through to the end. No more sitting back hoping someone else is taking care of it for me.
Right now I can't do any of those things since it's 11:30 at night and I have children to watch over. I can however, pray when the Lord tells me it is time to pray!
Stay. Prayer is not a last resort, you know:') How about just joining us with an occasional Amen.
Some fifty wounds from bullets, shrapnel, clubs--all while directing fire at the enemy and rescuing wounded friendlies--
Action, faith--we can ask for no more.
I'm not a lawyer, nor play one on teevee, but I've burned up the phone, fax and email routes to as many relevant parties as possible since the bad deal went down Friday.
The data available here--including from TEJ--is indispensible, as is the unrelenting faith.
No, many here pray because it's the very BEST thing we can do! But many of us DO act as well... in fact, I bet I can safely say the majority of us all act in one way or another to do whatever we're called to do to help. But that is pretty unfair of you to say some pray so they don't HAVE to act.
"Many here seem to pray so they don't have to act."
1. It is not our action which saves Terri, but Christ's.
2. How on earth do you know what everybody is DOING?
3. Read some of these prayers, and you'll see these are people who know the Lord. The fruit in their life naturally occurs as the doing. Fruit happens on all trees, but only those who are grafted into the Vine bear the fruit HE wants. Pharisees prayed and did alot; doesn't' mean they we're saved.
