(James 4:3): ... New International Version (NIV) 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives......" Do we think this only means things and desires? Or do we realize that anything outside of Christ's will - will not be done in the power of Prayer? Even certain...

So how does fear of God, who is perfect love, take away fear? William D. Eisenhower puts it this way in his article 'Fearing God" in Christianity Today: Unfortunately, many of us presume that the world is the ultimate threat and that God's function is to offset it. How different this is from...

I have enjoyed the fellowship of fun with many here in other threads with threads such as "Add A WORD," and others like it where we are simply enjoying each others company in a clean friendly environment. My Hope is to enjoy a new version of the same thing; I call it: "YOU'VE BEEN SENTENCED" -...

* Why should we bother to pray if God already knows what we are going to ask for? Prayer involves so much more than making personal requests. It connects us with God and works to bring our wills into conformity with His. How then should we pray?...First, James tells us to pray in community, not...

Jesus stood there in perfect, spotless holiness of His Manhood; then He turned His back on the glory and came down from the Mount to be identified with sin, that thru His death, fallen humanity might (not only) be redeemed, but (be enabled) to have a conscious entrance into the life He lived...
