    A Solid Starting Point For Effective Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2025
     | 578 views

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more

The Lord has spoken about denying ourselves, bearing our cross, and following Him. He spoke of ...read more

    One thing the devil has been very successful at doing is taking something that God created, and using it for his own evil purpose.

    For example, God gave mankind the wisdom and the ability to produce television sets for our homes, to provide wholesome and godly programs to be a blessing to our families. But look how the devil has taken the “scum” of Hollywood to corrupt the minds of our families. The devil has used television ...read more
