We know everything about that which we can do nothing about, and we don't know anything about that which we can do something about. I mentioned it did not matter when Neil Postman wrote those sentences. If it was only …

The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything, but His love. Teach us to come to You when we don't feel like it and when we're hurting. When we're …

God brings you to places among people and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede but to...

If you believe being a Christian is about a relationship, not being religious, you may be a Puritan! John Owen: The goal of the Christian life is not external life, conformity, or mindless action, but a passionate love for Go...

No matter what motivates us at the beginning of our prayer discipline, our prayers will glorify God, conform us to His will, and open up to us eternal life during our earthly sojourn. Maturing in the faith will not only …

We review and apply the revival prayer in Nehemiah 8 and 9. We hear the hearts of believers poured out in worship, thanksgiving, confession, and intercession. We also see God's name is lifted up, His will is acknowledged, alo...

There are other times when our sorrow for our sins burst forth, remember like, Yahweh-Perazim, breaking through in victory, we are open and laid bare before the cross in repentance. The good news is the miraculous news. As a ...
