One night while our church’s Children’s Choir was getting ready to present their Christmas musical, my 3 year old grandson, Dylan, stopped their snack time. He told the choir directer they could not eat yet because they had not prayed. He then proceeded to tell the whole group to stop eating so

Leonard Ravenhill ‘The church has many organisers, but few agonizers; many who pay, but few who pray; many resters, but few wrestlers; many who are enterprising, but few who are interceding… Tithes build a church, but tears will give it life. That is the difference between the modern church

The praying hands
Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order merely to keep food on the table, the father, who was a goldsmith by profession, had to work almost eighteen hours a day and he took on any other paying work

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Oh the beauty of God’s creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord’s presence with me. He asked me, "Do you love me?" I answered, "Of course, God! You are my Lord and

The phrase that helps remind me of not giving in to weariness (and we all get tired) is: Keeping on Keeping On.
Again this is not praying the same prayer in order to wear God down, it is being consistent, constant, and unwavering even when we don’t feel like it. I’m sure the widow wanted to give up
