The Power Of Prayer Series

Contributed by Julia Cramer on Oct 30, 2021

Persistent Prayers

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't. And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear.

The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear in the first verse of this parable, look at Luke 18:1, we read, “And he spake a ...read more

The Prayer Of Love Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021

John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it.

Successful Prayer

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

Spontaneous Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Spontaneous prayer is much more meaningful and real than planned prayer. Planned prayer is usually locked into formulas, and we repeat the same requests over and over. This kind of prayer gets dull, and it is seen as a duty rather than a joy.

George Buttrick in his large book simply called Prayer tells of why the Acoma Indians in Colorado chose to live on the mesa. The rock gave them safety.
