Kimber Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 can the Christians here start praying? I've been on the side lines watching this thing between SWB and Ken Ham, and it's sad. But this is an issue between Christians. Christians who disagree with one another, but who all have the same Holy Spirit living within them, talking to them, guiding them, convicting them, admonishing them, and leading them. Instead of bickering, can the Christians start praying? There's power in prayer. We know it. And we're not enemies and we shouldn't let the enemy get involved in our homeschooling. (And I'm not talking about Ham.) Prayer changes things. I've seen God fix so many big and little things in my life. Can we start praying? Instead of posting negative things about Mr. Ham, can prayers be posted instead? The Holy Spirit is living in him too. Remember, Christianity is for those people steeped in sin and we're all sinful and guilty, working out our sanctification everyday. Prayers for peace and for restoration and forgiveness. God says to test Him and see how good He is. Why not try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Great post! I have been praying! I was thinking today about how the devil loves what is happening. He loves division. And he loves to attack what we love the most. I do believe that we should stand together in prayer. We can show support for either and/or all parties involved without bashing the others. SWB is doing a beautiful job of that. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
