The Holy Spirit In The Life Of A Christian Series

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN Someone has said, “You will never truly know the power of God until you need the power of God.” I think that statement equally applies to God’s Holy Spirit. As we mentioned earlier in this series, too often Christians and ...read more

Praying With Power

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jan 10, 2018

Most Christians say they believe in prayer but in reality, they don’t see much power in it. I think the reason for this is they don’t pray much. Like the subject of love it is easy to talk about but not as easy to put into practice.

When Christians pray, God listens. I read of a town in the mid-west that had two churches and ...read more
