    A Prayer For God’s Will

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

     | 4,100 views

    When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more

    His son had a severe problem. The disciples of Jesus couldn't cast out a demon who was living inside a boy. Then Jesus came by and promptly made everything right.

    I read about a recent survey titled, The top 10 most seductive, unbiblical ideas embraced by American adults. Karma was one of them. It said 33% of those with a biblical worldview embraced this concept. That's a problem.

    THE PROBLEM WITH KARMA I read an article about a recent survey authored by George Barna, conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University titled, The top 10 most seductive, unbiblical ideas embraced by American adults. Included in this list are some things I've seen ...read more

    Nothing Of Significance

    Christmas Eve parable -- kind of silly and serious at the same time -- poking a little fun at my own Scandinavian heritage. From the beginning the trained observers have failed to recognize the significance of the Nativity.

    The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more
