    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,089 views

    This prayer is often wrongly used, however. We are not to just mindlessly repeat it from rote memory, but we are to use it as a framework upon which we can build a prayer life that is offered to God, heard and answered by Him, and one that glorifies His

    We have been called to love. Twelve times in the New Testament we are expressly commanded to “love one another”. Loving one is more than just words; more than just saying “I love you brother”. What is this thing called “love”?

    One of the major rules of engagement in this battle is ‘walking in love.” Once you drift into revenge, bitterness, unforgiveness, grudge, and malice, you have given Satan the advantage over you.
