The Love Test

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Aug 1, 2002

It’s easy to say that we love God, isn’t it? As long as we don’t probe any deeper than that. But the Bible does probe deeper than that, & it asks more questions than just that one.

So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as [1] make a man’s hair stand on ...read more

Seeking God's Heart - Lord's Prayer Week 2 Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 29, 2006

Our prayer life must begin with our relationship with our heavenly Father. God wants us to spend time in his presence even before anything else so we can know his heart. Only afterward should we pray for our needs and the needs of others.

All of these terms describe the same thing. Prayer was how Jesus stayed connected to God his Father when he walked the ...read more
