     | 2,723 views

    Everybody has an excuse for not getting seriously involved with God. And some of those reasons are genuine. But some excuses are just another way of saying “I have more important things to do with my life, don’t bother me.”

    Jesus had been preaching and teaching, healing all kinds of sicknesses and casting out demons, up and down the Sea of Galilee for months. Everywhere he went people gathered, waiting for hours - some just to hear him speak, others hoping for the chance to ask him a question or even just to touch ...read more

    Praying With Good King Hezekiah

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 21, 2021
     | 4,819 views

For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more
