    Contributed by Scott Sutton on Aug 14, 2022

    Reading the Lord’s Prayer recently, I thought about something that it says in a way that I had never thought about before. It says in verse #10 “...Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

So that means we also need to know what is happening in Heaven and how God’s will is being accomplished. The first ...read more
