Christians Should Boldly Pray For Other Christians!

Posted on January 31, 2019 by debrapedrow

There is no shortage of news headlines endlessly announcing attacks made against anything Christian. The hate is very outspoken — there seems to be no filter applied.

No matter if you are Vice President of the United States (Mike Pence) or his wife who teaches at a Christian school (Karen Pence); are Christian young people attending a pro-life rally (Covington Catholic H.S.) or a simple baker trying to run your personal business according to God’s Word (Jack Phillips) — verbal and written abuse against Christians continues.

Misinterpretation of the King James Version often lead readers to believe they were not allowed to want more than they already had: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

And—Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; This fourth verse has often been accepted as even through death, God is with me.
