    While we can benefit from some of the wisdom that whirls around us, to be truly wise we need the wisdom that comes from above.

    Recently a survey was done with a group of kids. This is how they responded to the question, “What do you think wisdom is?” Rocky, age 9, said, “Wisdom is wearing a hat when feeding seagulls.” 9-year-old Carol commented, “Never ask for anything that costs more than $5 when your parents are doing ...read more

    The Our Father in Matthew 6 is typically referred to as the Lord's Prayer. But really, John 17 is what should be called the Lord's Prayer because it literally is the prayer of Jesus. Jesus' longest recorded prayer has much to say and there's much to gain.
