    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    ALMSGIVING AND PRAYER. Matthew 6:1-9. Jesus’ teaching on almsgiving, prayer and fasting in the Sermon on the Mount is replete with the language of the stage. MATTHEW 6:1. We are not to do our alms in order to be seen of men: to do so is just theatre. For that there is no reward from our ...read more

    How long, Lord.

    WATCHING IN PRAYER. Habakkuk 1:1-4, Habakkuk 2:1-4. This is the oracle or “burden” which Habakkuk the prophet did “see” (Habakkuk 1:1). So, right from the top, we understand that the prophet’s patient waiting of Habakkuk 2:1 paid off. When Habakkuk speaks of his message as a burden, it ...read more

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,654 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    We have access to resources far more powerful than the internet. Yet, we choose instead to trust our wisdom and our ability.

    Technology can be an amazing instrument when we need help. I needed to install a new cabin filter in my car and I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. So, I searched YouTube and it gave me step by step instructions of how to do it. Through the internet, we have pretty much a direct line to ...read more

    We know that prayer is the Christians vital breath of life. How is your prayer life? How long has it been since you really dwelt in the presence of God? It can be convicting to come to the realization we have drifted, and our prayer life is not what it once was. What can we do about it? The answer ...read more
