@SenSanders For the first 140 years of the republic the United States of America had exactly zero interest in the internal affairs of other nations, especially Europe, as per President Washington’s recommendation. We must return to our path.
@pastorclint Thank you, Pastor Clint. We must reinforce our confessional boundaries in every generation. It is difficult, even painful, but you are the man God has appointed for this time for us. Praying for you.
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST
I met the parents of a young man, I'll call Ty, at an absolutely packed prayer service with Pastor Jim Cymbala who was visiting our church recently. It was an amazing encounter when Pastor Jim asked all the men to come forward, he later said this was unplanned. The front filled up fast and we were backed up in the aisles. He asked us to pair up with the man closest to us, and pray for each other's family member who may need to hear the Gospel or perhaps is in distress.
The guy in front of me, I'll call him Jack, turned around and told me about his 22 year old son Ty who is transgendered for eight years now, and is going to Europe soon to have irreversible surgeries. Jack was in tears and he and his wife, who I will call Jill, are so heartbroken and distraught over this.
After I prayed withhim, Jack was stunned when I told him I was trans for 30 years and how when I heard the Gospel, God's Grace redeemed me and the Holy Spirit transformed me... and the tears flowed again, from both of us.
I grabbed a couple fellas from my men's group and our Pastor and we all prayed together.
Jack and Jill are from a town almost an hour north of us and this was their first time at Calvary Church here in Clearwater, and they sure had no idea they would meet me. They were both so grateful that we all were there to pray with them.
Jill contacted me yesterday to say they are going to see their son in Tallahassee tomorrow, so I'm mustering all the forces I can to be praying about this. Please pray for their strength and boldness and that God will soften Ty's heart and give him ears to hear. I can't believe that our encounter was just a coincidence and we want a victory on this, so I'm counting on you all.
Please repost this and call on all those in your life who will also repost and pray about this. Time is short.
Thanks y'all and God bless.
Yours in Christ,
Will
@PerfInjust I am unfamiliar with this concept. My view is that God’s people are always apologizing to me for not being Baptist, since the sacred text always agrees with us. 😉
