I hope I am not stepping on any toes here. Well... I just won't name names.
I am posting this request in light of a rather disturbing encounter I had at a different "Church". Please pray for those lost "IN" the church. I am so sad I had to request this.
There are many of us, who as believers in Christ Jesus have complicated and institutionilized The simplicity of Gods grace to the point I truly believe they have become blind to it. There were books of prayer that consisted of NO Blblical material whatsoever. And the people who I met there were pretentious and rude. I wrote to the "pastor" what was on my heart. I pray Lord that you will open thier hearts to the Salvation of your son Jesus Christ that they might know the compassion and love you freely give to us all...

I stand in agreement with your prayer Java.

You probably planted a seed.

Well I returned to the CHruch in question and much to my suprise they were praying for me to return! The minister said he knew before he even read the letter why I left. So, as per his instructions I am returning on Sunday and dropping his name as instructed, I am to convey the message to all that I better be welcomed or he will let them "have it"
