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

Pray with purpose – Matthew 7:7-8
I believe that at times, maybe often, we pray aimlessly. That is to say, we don’t pray with a purpose in mind. Sure, we might regularly send our laundry list of wants up to Heaven in hopes of an answer, or maybe an occasional “Thank you” or praise, but do we have a purpose......Read More

Pray with desire - Matthew 7:7-8
I believe that God wants us to prayer with desire. Prayer is a two-way street of communication. You talk to God; God talks to you. So, when you talk, He listens. And he wants to hear what is really on your heart. The more you open up to Him, the closer your relationship with Him can become.......Read More

God listens to prayers - Matthew 7:7-8
I found this in Matthew 7:7-8: To he who asks it shall be given. To he who seeks, shall find. To him who knows, it will be opened. For years, I just looked at this as three closely related thoughts, but I’ve learned that when Jesus sometimes says a thing three times, He is......Read More

How do you keep your Bible study fresh?
How do you keep your study of God's word from becoming stale? For me, I try to vary the way I study. Sometimes I study a book, Next time I'll study a character. Sometimes, I've even pulled out an atlas and just studied one place mentioned in the Bible. I think another key aspect to......Read More

Why do you fast?
II think the best way to discuss why we should fast is to first discuss why we shouldn’t fast. I know many people who have fasted. After the fast, they talk about how hungry they were by lunch and how faint-headed they felt by dinner time. Some have talked about how they have a deeper......Read More
