Knowing What To Pray For Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003

Have Faith And Pray

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015

Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more
