    Instead of going into a long explanation on subjects, Jesus taught in principles saying, "When you pray, say, . . ." and He gave them a pattern that also included prayer principles.

    He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

    The cry of the inner child remains the same. We desperately want someone to love us. Love me for me. Charles Spurgeon (English preacher of the 19th century) said, “God chose me before I was born; for he never would have chosen me afterwards!”

    The childish art of love – pulling the petals from a flower and reciting, “(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not” – left love to chance. Even rigged it because if you start a certain way you end up where you want to – “(s)he love me!” Prance off feeling hopeful that love has a chance! The cry of the ...read more

    This is a short devotional about spending time with the Lord. Jesus was a GUEST WHO NEEDED INVITING, but He is A GUEST WORTH INVITING.

    Sermon thirteen in a fourteen sermon series based on the popular Bible study by Henry Blackaby.

    We have spoken about the fact that when we sense the direction of God and have received his invitation to join Him in what He wants to do through us, we come to a “crisis of belief.” Do I really believe that God can do through me what He is calling me to do? Once we have settled that questions ...read more
