1 | Praying for the 'World'. | Matt 5:44 | DocTrinsograce | 163552 | ||
Dear Sonlit, Perhaps this will help: Charles Spurgeon once wrote, "If God would have painted a yellow stripe on the backs of the elect I would go around London lifting shirt tails. But since He didn't I must preach 'whosoever will' and when 'whosoever' believes I know he is one of the elect." Ought we not, therefore, to so pray for all men? Indeed, we are commanded to pray for our enemies. There are many Christian enemies who are, certainly, reprobates. However, the truth of the matter is, until glory, we won't know the wheat from the tare anyway. :-) Does that help? In Him, Doc PS It is good to have your foundations shaken! It means God is correcting your theology. Thank Him for the shaking! |

Yes, thank you, this does help. I hold great respect for Charles Spurgeon, and this response finds a resting place in my soul. And...I am thankful that God is leading and teaching me through His Word and through His saints who are willing to come along side another with words of wisdom, so thank you. My mother, who is now at home with her Lord, once told me, "God will shake that which is shakeable, and that which is his will remain". I was reminded of that after you comment. |

That's a precious memory! She was quoting Hebrews 12:27. Praise God for mother's who have loved the Word! | ||||||
