Prayer — Christian Debate

Prayer and Politics

Is there such a thing as an apolitical or unpolitical prayer?

What does it mean to pray, "Thy kingdom come" (Matthew 6:10) and "O sovereign Lord ...how long before you judge...?" (Rev 6:10)

In short can prayer and politics be separated?

Any thoughts? CM

If everything is really determined/predestined/fated to happen beforehand is prayer meaningful?
Why? or Why not?

Guns In Churches? Where is God?

Churchgoers in Virginia could soon legally bring their guns alongside their Bible after a bill cleared the state Senate last week and sparked a heated debate about whether packing heat could help save lives -- or is a slap in the face of God.

The bill passed on strictly partisan lines -- 21 Republicans supported it and 19 Democrats opposed it. But the debate was turned heated. The bill would repeal a law that reportedly dates back to colonial times, which makes it a misdemeanor to carry "a gun, pistol, bowie knife, dagger, or other dangerous weapon, without good and sufficient reason, to a place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held at such place", in the state of Va.

             ------------    -------    ------------    ------------

Why are we making the place of worship and "Houses of God" War Zones? God is not enough? Guns Were Made To Kill. Who doesn't know that? CHURCHES BE "GUN-FREE ZONES". It appears Republicans everywhere, don't know what to do with power, shows signs of ungodliness. "More guns, in more places, in more hands", leads to more carnage, deaths, the massacre of the innocent, seniors, and children.

Who is behind this foolishness of weaponizing churches and the arming of pastors? With some research, it may prove that the NRA is behind it and the encouragement of gun sales. After all, handguns are more popular than before. At the same time, more children and family members are killed. Today's Christians seem to be spiritual stooges for extreme right-wing politicians. See my past threads and posts on guns. God has not called Christians out of darkness to be promoters and executioners of societal wrongs.

Bibles belong in the pulpit, not guns! CD Users, speak up and speak out about the desecration of churches, traumatizing members, and the deputizing deacons and ushers. Our churches should be a fortress of truth with the Word as its shield and protector. God will take care of His people. Let's not put our trust in guns and bullets, but in prayer, praise, fellowship, and heavenly hope. Stand for truth, safety, and the presence of a holy God. CM

Melania Trump is the current First Lady of the United States and wife of the 45th U.S. President Donald Trump. Melania Trump was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia and grew up in Sevnica, in the Lower Sava Valley.

She needs prayer. She seems unhappy. The things coming out about her husband, how could she hold her head up. I am certain women, around the world, who share half of her situation, can understand. At any rate, she is struggling to make some decisions. Remember, little Barron (son) too. One can take but so much. Pray America, Pray women of the world for Melania Trump and son. CM
