Thoughts And Prayers Matter

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 20, 2019

In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This! As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards (referring to politicians) who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind ...read more

Some time back, he met the apostle Paul and became a Christian, and he’s now one of the leaders of a church. ...read more

To establish that Jesus, while on the cross, may have saved the thief after he said: "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Is the Lord's answer: "Verily I say unto thee, Today thou shalt be with me in paradise," His words of pardon? Many teach this is so!

Enslaved Series

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Sep 6, 2011

Paul mentioned two distinct areas where we are often under a yoke of slavery. 1- Enslaved to work 2- Enslaved to false thinking
