    Do I Have To Pay Someone To Teach Me How To Pray?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 22, 2022
     | 1,021 views

    Why would anyone need to pay to learn how to pray when it is clear that the Lord told us how in the Bible?

    I recently read an article where someone was charging people nearly $1500.00 to attend a seminar on how to learn to pray. Let us look at Luke 11:1-13. 1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as ...read more

    A cowboy applied for health insurance. The agent routinely asked if he had any accidents during the previous year.

    The cowboy replied, “No, but I was bitten by a rattlesnake, and a horse kicked me in the ribs. That laid me up for a while.” The agent asked, “Weren’t those accidents?” The cowboy immediately replied, “No, they did it on purpose.” Today I want to show you, from this passage of scripture, ...read more

    A famous actor was invited to a dinner party. After the main course, the actor was asked if he would be willing to recite a piece of poetry for the guests.

    The actor readily agreed and asked if someone at the dinner table would like to suggest what he should recite. There was a deadly hush until an old clergyman raised his hand and said: “May I ask you to recite the 23rd Psalm?” The actor was rather taken back but agreed, saying: “I will recite Psalm ...read more

    "am I Truly Jesus Focused"

    It is easy to assert that it is all about Jesus. Sometimes we believe that our focus is sincerely upon the person and work of Christ. But, is it? John the Baptist was Jesus focused, but when are we? Matthew 3:1-17 provides five moments when we are Jesus focused.

    1. We are focusing on Jesus when we call people to repentance. Mt. 3:1-2; Mt. 4:17 2. We are focusing on Jesus when we clarify his identity. Mt. 3:3; Is. 40:3; Mt. 16:13 3. We are focusing on Jesus when we complete our God given tasks. Mt. 3:4-6 4. We are focusing on Jesus when we ...read more

    Unlike mankind God cannot ignore sin and He will ultimately move against it in whatever form and wherever He finds it whether in the world, the church or our personal lives.

    Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

He sent a messenger by the name of Hazael to enquire of the prophet, whether he would live or die from this illness. ...read more

    The road which the Lord sets before us is not easy. It requires us to give up our selfish ambition, and to walk the path of service. Yet it is a route which leads to a crown of glory for ALL who follow Jesus.

    THE SERVICE OF CHRIST. Mark 10:32-45. The disciples of Jesus were amazed that Jesus had ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). They were beginning to have the clear apprehension that such a route would lead to their Master’s premature death, and that the promises of His ...read more
