    We have to translate prayer from just a Christian principle and precept to Christian practice. We must pray day by day for our daily bread.

    “Praying for Daily Bread” Text: Matthew 6: 1 - 11 1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues ...read more

    As much as we might like to, we just can’t measure up to the prayer life of Jesus. Because of the Fall, we need to re-learn what it means to communicate with God on His terms.

    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.

    At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. 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
