Some would see that calvinists have a Christian fatalism - no - God works with and without means, to His glory. Keep on praying - as you and your brother are doing. His will is perfect and you may or may not see God's purposes - but what He has purposed will come to fulfillment. What we all need, is to live in the knowledge of the great grace poured upon us all who call on His name, and generally on all men as God is gracious.<BR/><BR/>In this hour of need - His grace is sufficient....

That does not mean that we have no faith... My questions is: what will happen if those people that are praying for complete healing don't get their request's answered? Will that affect them so much that they will doubt their faith? That's no way to live our Christian life. I think that God calls us to worship him through the good times and the bad times knowing and accepting that He has a greater purpose for the pain and suffering that we go through.<BR/><BR/>I forget where right now... I think it's in James where it says that we have to... "Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds...because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance and perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."<BR/><BR/>I am praying for you and your family and your father... may God's perfect will be done in His life...<BR/><BR/>Many blessings...<BR/><BR/>VilmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27391906.post-72795495039141716972009-03-18T17:32:00.000-07:002009-03-18T17:32:00.000-07:00I thnk we should pray like Jesus in the garden..ma...I thnk we should pray like Jesus in the garden..make our requests known but follow them with "nevertheless Your will be done"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
