     | 5,415 views

    Among the religious there is often a tendency toward long prayers, particularly in public. Too often people measure prayer by its fluency and length, thinking that length means devotion.

Turn to Ecclesiastes 5:2 B. Among the religious there is often a tendency toward long prayers, particularly ...read more

    Which Bridge Is Safe?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 8, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,873 views

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020
     | 12,197 views

    Let me talk about stones. God requires Christians to take care of each other. Not to pamper people in their wrongs, but to encourage them get back up when they do wrong or fall. We must have that Barnabas Spirit – to be willing to help each other when down.
