Intimate Communication Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Every relationship of life faces this same struggle of keeping intimacy alive. In every case the only way to do this is by means of communication. That is why prayer was a priority in the life of Jesus.

If we had as many answers to prayer as we have books on prayer the battle would be won. Unfortunately it is easier to write a book on prayer than to pray effectively. It is easier to preach a sermon on prayer than to pray. It is easier to give a lecture on prayer than to pray. It is easier to do ...read more

Know The Foe Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021
