They say the world has become too complex for simple answers.
They are wrong.
There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers.
We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.

Subject: Urgent prayer challenge
Some of you are aware of the uproar this past week over a new prayer guide
produced by Southern Baptists. The prayer guide is designed to help
believers
pray for Jews during their holy days between Rosh Hashanah (Sept. 10) and
Yom
Kippur (Sept. 20). Activist Jews have reacted angrily in the secular media.
Sept. 10, during the Mike Richards show, a radio call-in program on KPRC in
Houston, Texas (USA), the Jewish man who is the show's producer challenged
the
Baptist leader being interviewed to ask Christian believers to pray for him,
"not because I want to have a faith in Jesus Christ" but that if Jesus is
truly God's son "that I come to a desire to have that relationship."
This man, who is a practicing Jew, said he understood God does not always
work
on human timetables that but that he would like Christians to pray for him
and
"see what happens." The leader being interviewed sees this as a challenge
like
that between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.
Please take up this challenge and share it with your intercession network
immediately. Ask God to give David Benzion a burning desire to know him in
an
intimate way. Ask God to vindicate Jesus' name by revealing himself and his
son to this man. Pray that Jews worldwide would recognize Jesus (Yeshua) as
their long-promised Messiah and would turn to him for forgiveness of sin and
salvation during these holy days. Ask God to bring glory to his name.
THE HOLY DAYS END SEPT. 20. DO NOT CIRCULATE THIS PRAYER REQUEST PAST SEPT.
20, 1999.
