Personally, I don't mind if people pray. I do mind a policy of a public office beginning an official meeting with prayer though. It's been a while since I've been here - and I see you're still asking that same question! :D Hi, Kevin!

Personally, I don’t mind if people pray. I do mind a policy of a public office beginning an official meeting with prayer though.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here – and I see you’re still asking that same question! :D

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." - Matthew 25:41-46 I don't see "I was obliviously committing sin, but you didn't hold up hateful signposts, scream abuse at me and make me feel unaccepted and unloved" anywhere in there. “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

I don’t see “I was obliviously committing sin, but you didn’t hold up hateful signposts, scream abuse at me and make me feel unaccepted and unloved” anywhere in there.

With all due respect, I know I'm not the one who brings anyone to Christ. That is the job of the Holy Spirit. But it is up to us to share his love. Jesus came not to condemn. In John 8 Jesus told the woman He didn't condemn her. He told her to go and sin no more but He loved her first. Yelling and screaming at people just turns them off. Explain John 3:17?

Does that mean he did not love men? Definitions are getting in the way. Biblical love is warning all men about the condition of their souls and faithfully preaching the word of God, especially in this lost and apostate nation...with no regard for self or money or reputation or numbers... How can you take credit for loving people to Christ? That is GOD'S work and HIS alone and it's all for HIS glory. No man can put his hand on the Ark of God. Remember Uzza? If those 13 people were supernaturally born again, then stand back and PRAISE HIM for it!...Don't be duped, the scripture says... Salvation is of the LORD (Jon. 2:9)! Set Apart by His grace, Phil Kevin,

I voted for Bush 41, Bush 43 and Obama, so I'll accept the blame that goes along with my political choices. But as you said, the greatest blame is that I was born voting for sin in thought and deed.

The God I serve loves. The God I serve came to save not condemn. With all due respect I have paid the price more than you will ever know. But nothing compared to what Jesus paid. I'll chose to love people into the Kingdom. I will answer to God for what I do and I know He is pleased with how I'm living my life today. I've had the privilege of "loving" 13 people to Christ in the last month. So if that is wrong then I'm guilty. Phillip,

Since men don't preach the word any longer and attack sin, "Christians" are speechless and offended when someone dares to speak out in the public square. You ought to be ashamed! Hooking up the glorious Gospel for filthy lucre is where you have erred. Following the traditions of men, like Graham and this doomed nation's idols is also where you have erred. Money and the true Gospel does not mix (1 Tim. 6:9,10). The lady who was with you cared more about the flag than the Bible. How can you defend that? How? Worshipping that dead idol is a sin. If you are not going to stand in the gap for truth no matter what the cost, then get out of the pulpit and don't call yourself Christian or a pastor. You just got your rear handed to you by a woman who knows the word of God and will not back down one inch from it. She'll die with the truth! Praise our sovereign God! That is how we are all supposed to be. Warriors! We are truth warriors and the sword we wield is divine (2 Cor. 10:4,5)! And we use that sword to crush error, falsehood and lies of all kinds. Nothing she said is unbiblical. They make people mad because they speak truth! They are battling error with truth! The word cuts wide open (Heb. 4:12)! You know that! The world will hate you because it first hated HIM! If you are just getting along with everyone just fine and dandy, with all things and all opinions, then you ARE NOT a true man of GOD! Jesus offers peace between man and God through faith in HIS blood, but HE divides households and nations with HIS words. He is a stumbling block and rock of offense. What side are you on? Remember, friendship with the world is ENMITY with God! Hopefully, this has convicted you to leave false doctrine and start PREACHING THE WORD (2 Tim. 4:2) in it's glory and fullness. America is perishing and you are delusional if you are not warning men today to flee "from the wrath to come" (1 Thess. 1:10)! God is not mocked! This nation has sewn in sin for way too long and the hour of her demise draws nigh. Quit worshipping Billy Graham and men and conventions and start following and serving the living Christ!
