    Christ – the eternal “Amen” – the personification of all truth. By closing your prayers with “In Jesus’ name, Amen”, can Jesus attest to the father that everything you pray is truthful…or that at the very least, you earnestly mean everything you pray?

     | 6,146 views

    When unworthy people get good things, prayer helps us discover that we too do have good things, that the issue is not goods but our feelings, and that ultimately God is just and gracious.

Last week we talked about that age-old problem of what you do what bad things happen to good people. We thought about how, when good people get into tough times, it just feels as though ...read more
