    Prayer (1) Gideon’s Prayer Regarding A Fleece

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 7, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,344 views

    Most commentators criticise Gideon, feeling that his prayer demonstrates a lack of faith. But given how positively the New Testament views Gideon, we should be inclined to take a positive view of his prayer. It's a very sensible prayer, and a great example to us.

Introduction First, let’s look at the situation Gideon was in before we look at his prayer. We may think, ‘We pray, God answers. Simple.’ But when we look at what was going on at ...read more

    Sometimes ago, I did a write up on the subject "Crisis in Christ". It borders on the competition and irreconcilable difference among the supposed believers in Christ and the different denominations they belong to. There appears not to be an end to the war tearing the body of Christ apart. Today, ...read more

    I love to hear when the Lord directs a person to go and speak to someone; but what I am even more excited about is hearing of the back story from the other side how God made this all happen. That is our passage today.
