The moderator responded with the fact that he only posts what is submitted. (I didn't save the letter, so forgive me if this is not an accurate summary.) I agree with both of these points, so I have a request for everyone who reads this group. Would you pray for the group every time that you start to read it? Every time that you read a post you disagree with, would you take some time out to pray for that person? It is SO easy for a forum like this to degenerate into endless arguing. If we bathe soc.religion.christian in prayer, God WILL permeate it and bless it and use it as a tool for His glory. Please do not take this as a criticism. I'm sure that many of you already do pray like this. It's humbling to realize that I've been reading this group for many months and this thought just occurred to me today. I'm excited to think that along with talking about Jesus, we can all be talking with Him as well. The peace of the Lord be with all of you. -mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Meuer | 1200 Washington Ave. So.
