I came across the "The Knights of Prayer ™ Monastic Order" site while searching for some information that I had read in a book. At first I thought that the site was a joke. What I have done since then, is explored, on other sites, about the history of monastic traditions through the ages. I have also looked even more in Scripture, which is not a bad thing I think.
Ordained minister, Bible Study, Christian Forums, information about all sorts of things, that are available online.
I have even discovered that you can compete distance learning things towards a wide spectrum of educational goals. At one time you could only do things like that in person, then there were correspondance courses. Where will it end?
Look at the number of online Church groups out there that actually ask for donations. And then of course I've noticed that when I go to Church I'm hit up for tithes and offerings, this is even mentioned in the Bible.
I wonder what the Scriptures say about any kind of bashing of beliefs?
"It is things like these that make me pray for nuclear holocaust on the next 2 minutes." ? I pray that I never be led to something as dark as that, even in jest. I much prefer to leave those kinds of things in the Lords' hands.
There are many things available to us in the world today, some good, some bad. I pray that the Lord will lead me to know which is which and that the Lord will continue to bless me with his grace and his guidance.
Personally, I am glad to have come across the site under discussion. I believe that it has led me to pray even more than I was.
I know people who believe that I have really "lost it" when I tell them that I believe in the power of prayer. I also know that the power of prayer and the Lord nudgeing me, that my marriage has been restored. I had no knowledge of the people who were praying for me before that restoration or that they were praying, I just know that it was a result of those prayers that I came back from a very dark place, praise the Lord.
