As a human facing an injustice alone, I would be concerned for him and I would pray for him, but honestly my prayer for him at that point would probably not be so fervent.
Injustices happen every day.
Innocent people die every day.
Unless there is something I can connect with, my prayer would not be so fervent-- if I prayed at all.
Not once did I pray for the Muslims being persecuted by the Christians in the Balkans during the 1990's. It never came into my mind to pray for them. I definitely was not asked by the Supt. of the UPCI to pray for them.
Was I wrong for not praying for them?
What would I pray-- that God would would deliver them with His Mighty Hand? Why would I do that? They are Muslims. They deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God!
Do you consider other non-Apostolic Christians to be your brothers and sisters in Christ?
