    This is a follow-up on "Choosing the Good Portion," (Luke 10: 38-42). Our faith and attitude intertwine to affect our outlook on life, on our relationships with others and with God, and are the necessary components of effective prayer life.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, have you ever been in a situation where you thought everybody would agree with you only to receive immediate comments to the contrary? I found that out last Sunday when we talked about choosing the good portion and I used the illustration of Kentucky Fried ...read more

    Since the majority of the church spends so little time in intercessory prayer, it is essential that not only the quantity of our prayers increase, but also the quality.

    I CAN’T HEAR YOU! Have you ever been ugly to someone and when you try to talk to them or ask them for something, they say, “I can’t hear you!” The key to answered prayer lies within your relationship with God.
