At our last mens business meeting the subject was securing the building. We have an alarm system but do not have it on. We will turn it on soon. I don't think we need one. The catholics have had open buildings for centuries and anyone can go in and pray or or genuflect or whatever. While we lock our building to keep the derelicts out. One fellow told me the other night that where he used to go the building was broken into and their food supply for the poor was pretty much ransacked. I asked him what the problem was. Their congregation had participated in a benevolent act without having to participate. Apparently we are concerned someone will steal our sound system. I told them no problem if they do we can get a better one.
ON television several years ago some prognosticator was positive looking down the road 5 years of what Iran would do if Israel did such and such . But when asked what Iran was going to do tomorrow in response to a certain act by Israel today he was not sure. It appears the more verifiable the less his confidence and when the act is less verifiable his confidence increased.
Same with prayer. Does it say anything about a people's convictions when they claim prayer works and have absolute confidence God will heal their sick but are not that confident about him protecting the congregation's property?
How about the confidence shown by others who withhold medical treatment because their faith in God's healing is so great. Why do you suppose we think they are loony for having such a ridiculous faith?
