     | 11,449 views

    Prayer is one of the seven marks of discipleship our elders have identified for our church. But in our prayer life, we often struggle over the issue of unanswered prayer.

    I read a story once about a woman who was dying in a hospital bed. Her two daughters were by her side. All day one of the daughters had been praying vigorously and passionately. But when the family’s pastor came to the hospital room, one of the daughters whispered to him, "I just can’t seem to get ...read more

    Legalism - How It Distorts Our View Of God

    based on 25 ratings
     | 3,551 views

    When there is an undue focus on the "will" of God to the exclusion of the whole "Being" of God we will end up with a distorted perspective of God

    • Doctrines can be defined as those things we cannot do without and still be a Christian • Beliefs are those things that make a Christian a Christian o Salvation is through Christ alone, by faith alone through grace alone o The Bible is the Word of God So our focus should be on the essentials of ...read more

    How Can I Know God's Will?

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Mar 17, 2004
    based on 58 ratings
     | 4,694 views

    One of the great mysteries of Christianity involves knowing God’s will for a person. Often we resort to fleeces, fasting, flipping, feelings or floundering to coax God into telling us His will. Use this GUIDE to know God’s will for your life...

    In his letter to the Ephesian church, Paul exhorted them to “redeem the time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” It seems that one of the great mysteries of the Christian walk involves discovering God’s will for a person. That ...read more

    Certainly -- At A Distance

     | 4,949 views

    For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

    Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more
