Prayer Releases All Your Eternal Resources. I came across this acronym in a prayer study a few years ago. There is truth in that phrase because we have all experience God’s power revealed through prayer either as we see God miraculously answer that prayer or by seeing Him change us so that we can

John wanted to increase his life insurance. They asked some medical questions, but instead of going to the doctor, he did the exam by himself. His application was rejected!

When we buried my father ten years ago (2000), my mother had him buried in his bathrobe and pajamas. She wanted to communicate the truth that the Christian’s body is only asleep at death, that one day his body will awake, and there will be a resurrection! The bathrobe and pajamas were a beautiful

Once, on a winternight, a stranger knocked at the door of an old man in a singleroom appartment. The old man woke up from his sleep and opened the door. The stranger begged him for a little space to pass the night, so that he does not freeze in the cold outside. The old man had only one bed. He
