Please pray for the families in Newtown CT where there has been an unspeakable shooting of children and staff. I can't even imagine what these families are going though.


God Bless

I have prayed and will continue to do so. We live in a evil world. Maybe I am wrong but I think we will see more of this type of behavior and more often it will occur closer together before the Lord returns.

Naomi,

I have no doubt you are right! We kicked God out of our schools, businesses, government and homes. We replaced Him with ourselves. No surprise to see the horrors of the fruits we have produced...

Pastor Rick,

I saw on t.v. that the way people think about their faith is changing. A new study shows that Protestants now account for just 48% of religious adults. Researchers call some of the non believers the Nones. These are the people who check the None Of The Above box when asked to check their religious affiliation. They are on the rise too. There were 10% in 1990 who believed that way. There are 20% who believe that way in 2012.

Then we have the atheist marching in a parade to express their beliefs in the Bible belt, and when else but on Halloween. Then some people say they believe in spirit. So here is my question Pastor Rick, when they say they pray to spirit who in the world are they praying to? I kind of think they could be praying to a evil spirit and not even have enough sense to know it. I hope I have explained what I heard correctly. I know I don't have the best writing skills. LOL

God Bless,

Naomi

Hi Naomi,

In essence, I doubt they have any idea who they are praying to. I had a friend, now deceased, who said he knew "something" was there, but he didn't know what. Others want a god that agrees with them about everything. Still others want to be god in their own world.

What we are seeing is the result of Secure Humanism and Post Modernism. These philosophy replace God with the individual, not seeing Him as worth keeping.

Really fits with Rom 1.

Hope I answered your question. Sometimes I'm not all that clear... ;)

Pastor Rick,

Thanks for the answer to my question. I have another question about the lady named Barb who use to post here quite alot. I never see her post anymore and when she posted quite sometime ago she was having some health problems. Do you know how she is doing? I have been thinking about her and wondering how she is doing. She is such a sweet lady.

God Bless,

Naomi

Hi Naomi,

I do keep in contact with Barb. And I agree, she is very nice. She has had matters that required her focus of late. Hopefully she will be able to rejoin us at a later date.

I will be happy to pass on your note to her. I'm sure it will brighten her day! ^_^
