Dear Friends,

I am having an interesting discussion with my mother (who is saved) at the moment. I believe saying Good Luck to someone is wrong and essentially denies the existance and therefore power of God.

I muffed the poll, so please email me your comments.

Comments please :noidea:

Can Do :rolleyes:

I agree. Since I believe God is in control of everything, I do not give credit to luck or chance.

Thats a good question , I say it sometimes my self, but I believe strongly that its wrong, because there is not such a thing as luck.

As a Christian we should say "If the Lord wants....but I realize people might look very weird if you say that all the time, you could say thet you will pray for their situation thats what I often do too.

Fixed the poll. Now you can vote on the options. :t2:

I voted, "No." There's no such thing as "luck." God has sovereign control over all things.

Well, I hit the wrong button and voted it didn't matter and I am embarassed. :t2:

I really agree that we should say God Bless.

As I remember Red Skelton used to close all his show and apearances with that. Such good things to remember.
