    HOW are we to pray? WHAT are we to pray? WHEN are we to pray? Are there requirements to prayer? These are the basic questions to our prayer life.

    2015.02.08. BASICS TO PRAYER The Bible has a lot to say about prayer. The first mention of prayer is found in Genesis, chapter 4.

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

    Luke 18:1 says,......."men ought always to pray, and not to faint"
