    The Pharisee made a show of his prayer with his arrogance. But the tax collector understood that the heart of prayer must be humility. We have something to learn before we kneel down to pray.

    There was a little boy who was kneeling by his bed with his mom to say his nighttime prayers. He began to shout to the top of his lungs, “Dear God, I’ve been real good this year so please let me get a new bicycle for my birthday.” His mom said, “Johny, God is not deaf; you ...read more

Simply put, prayer involves among other things: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication (ACTS) in the Spirit. True prayer is not just a one-way monologue. It also ...read more
