     | 11,219 views

    Jesus shows two very different prayer styles, and in so doing, reveals two very different heart styles. One will enter the kingdom of heaven; one won't. Our prayer life should reflect humility throughout.

Today, in the very next passage in the Bible, Jesus makes a different point: he really points to the very crux of our ...read more
