Bible Note: Greetings Norrie! Prayer isn't simply an add on, it is the most powerful and useful thing we can do in any situation. :-) Also, I don't recall Christians being silent on abortion, prayer in school, or homosexual marriage. We have spoken out loudly about all of these issues. However, our voices were bypassed by courts making law instead of ruling on law. I understand what you are saying about being involved and I agree. However, I just want to make sure that we don't fall into the trap of believing that our 'vote' is the most cruical thing and that our 'prayers' are simply an add on after we have tried everything else. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
