That is a good distinction to make. well said Ron.

Agreed, but it was a challenge I am glad I have accepted. As I have fasted and prayed for them I have found my own attitude changing and I am not as quick to question or hold mistrust. It has been a brilliant eye opener.

This is a great article... I recently had a pastor come out and say, "Some of you have been concerned or questioning the way the church is going. I want to assure you I am seeking the Lord for direction, but let me ask you this, 'Have you ever fasted for this church? for its leadership?' if you are in the church its your business to support your leaders, and praying and fasting for us is one great way to do this."

This really struck me. We often worry about our leaders and what they are doing, and are quick to bash them if we do not like what they do, but how often do we pray and fast for them? Excellent points Ron.
