I've asked for prayer before and got someone getting all over me when all I wanted was prayer. So, I suppose I was reacting when I shouldn't have. So, George, I publicly apologize for the misunderstanding.

I accept your apology, although I wasn't the least offended by what you said.
In this age of "Political Correctness" (more psychiatry & psychology) I come across as a gruff old codger. However, my wife and I have had 7 Children (all gifts from God); and we now have 16 grandchildren (all gifts from God); and 2 great grandchildren (all gifts from God) - all of which have "mellowed" me somewhat (You should have seen me 20 to 30 years ago - it's a wonder that my wife stuck with me.)
What you hadn't seen was the very gracious "
private reply" that "Why I Eyes Ya" sent me, which was a real blessing to my heart.
I believe that a major part of a Christian's (all Christians) ministry should be: Reconciliation (
2Corinthians 5:18) and Edification (
Romans 14:19; Romans 15:2; 1Thessalonians 5:11) and if I come across as rude, crude, or "hard", it's because there is so much "false doctrine" out there; there is so much "leaven" in the churches; there are so many "Christian authorities" that are replacing our "Final Authority"; and there is so much "personal opinion" (more Humanism) amongst Christians that I sometimes may be a little bit curt or abrupt in dealing with them.
You can ask my wife (and kids & grandkids) "my bark is worse than my bite".
Yours for the Lord Jesus Christ and for His Holy word,
George
