They’ve since renovated the dorm, but when I was there we had two pay phones in the dorm… one on the second floor, and one on the third.

That means if you want to know what someone is really passionate about see what they pray for regularly. Well Paul is about to let us in on the great desire of his heart. He’s ...read more

    Paul prays for power, for inner strength, a foundation and experience of love and an awareness of the fullness and glory of God.

    One way of telling what a Christian’s chief concerns and priorities are is to study the contents of their prayers. We all tend to pray about what concerns us, and tend to forget to pray about the things that don’t. At the same time it can be good to listen to others prayers so we can learn and ...read more

    Paul was writing down details of how he was praying for the young Colossian Church. It is a great guide as to how we should be praying for our fellow believers.
