This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” Paul’s instructions were not given in a time of political ease. He wrote these words while under Roman rule—when Christians were marginalized, misunderstood, and often persecuted. Yet his command was clear: pray for all who are in au...
