Scripture For The Week: 1 Timothy 2:1 ESV
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.
Westminster Larger Cathechism:
Q. 183. For whom should we pray?
A. We should pray for the entire church of Christ on earth, for civil authorities and ministers, for ourselves and fellow believers, and, yes, for our enemies. We should pray for all humans who are alive, and those who are going to live in the future. But we should not pray for the dead or for those who are known to have sinned the sin that leads to death.
Q. 184. For what should we pray?
A. We should pray for things that promote the glory of God, the welfare of the church, and our own or others’ good, but not for anything that is unlawful.
Something To Think About:
“The only obligation I recognize is to say what I believe to be true [...] and to say it with kindness. I believe that is how a Christian conversation should proceed.” --Marilynne Robinson, the author of the Pulitzer Prize Novel, Gilead

Darlington Presbyterian Church is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). The EPC is a young, vibrant family of churches in thirty-two states and Argentina seeking to plant churches and challenge stronger churches to start new daughter churches. Our National and World Outreach ministries seek new ways to spread a great and life changing message, that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
