I se...1 Thessalonians 5:17 - <i>Pray without ceasing</i>.<br /><br />I see fundies in my Christian forums use that verse as an excuse for their need to pester God about every minuscule thing.

How do we reconcile the fallen nature of man and his need for a Savior when many people are basically "good" and are capable of doing many good things on their own?digapigmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799706304353850475noreply@blogger.com
