Texting on my mobile was a parable on praying.

Most children and many adults have a mobile. It’s a valuable tool of communication, not only as a portable phone, but also in word messages known as ‘texting’.

Prayer Of Protection

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 10, 2006

Focus On Prayer

Contributed by James Powell on Dec 24, 2006

The Way to Pray.

The focus this month of March is prayer. Prayer is something which most Christians do without even thinking.
