Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God. -- Billy Graham Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory.

Called to Be Saints
A good post by Charles Spurgeon that I wanted to pass along to you: "Called to Be Saints" We are very apt to regard the apostolic saints as if they were "saints" in a more special manner than the other children of God. All are "saints" whom God has called by His grace, and sanctified … Continue reading Called to Be Saints

God’s Children
Have you ever watched Duck Dynasty? Those long-bearded, plain-spoken "Robertson rednecks" have some strong family traits. They love each other. They love duck hunting. They love Jesus. Every family has family traits. Sometimes it's the way they look, sometimes the way they walk, and sometimes the way they talk. Every family has family traits. So … Continue reading God’s Children
Walk Just as Jesus Walked
When you say it this way, it seems way too obvious: a Christ-follower will follow Christ. But too many people who call themselves Christians (aka, Christ-followers) do not walk the way Jesus walked, and they seemingly have no desire to do so. Their words, attitude, behavior, actions and decisions are not at all what Jesus … Continue reading Walk Just as Jesus Walked

The way of forgiving those who have wronged you. The way of truth. The way of righteousness. The … Continue reading The Way of Christ
