Pray with persistence – Matthew 7:7-8
I’ve been writing about the Matthew passage; “Ask, it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened.” It looks like Jesus is saying the same thing three times. In a way, He is. All of these exhortations are related to prayer, but they each have......Read More

Does prayer work?
From my own experience and from talking with others, I know this is a question many of us struggle with - does prayer work? I know some people who absolutely, unfailing believe in the power of prayer. I know more people who absolutely, beyond the shadow of a doubt "know" that......Read More
