Prayer Yes, we ask God for a whole lot of things. He promised us a whole lot.

It's a good thing to pray a lot. We're told in 1Thessalonians 5:17 to pray without ceasing.

That's praying continually. ...But we need to always remember that prayer is a two-way conversation!

When you ask Father God for something, always listen for His response!

Mary Mary sat and listened to what Jesus said. She wasn't busy making sure that good food was on table. She wasn't mulling over hurts or building up grudges in unforgiveness.

Mary wasn't talking whole time while hoping Jesus would yell so that she could hear Him!

Mary sat and listened to what Jesus was saying so that she didn't miss it and could live way that He was saying...

Have a time with Lord so that you can know Him more and more! We spend time with other people so that we can get to know each other. How much more important is it that we spend time with God!

How are we really going to get to know Him if we don't?

Read inspired Word of God. Everything in Bible accurately tells of Him and what He'll do for you.

Don't miss out better part! Spend time with God and His Word everyday!

You may remember story about six blind men who felt different parts of an elephant. In describing elephant, each told about his part of elephant. Each was telling truth, but each description alone did not paint entire picture. They each had a part of whole, and part did not adequately explain whole. Granted, Christians do not all agree on every stated topic in Bible; however, Christians do have a consensus on Jesus. He is what He said He is—the only begotten Son of God. The Bible says that believers see through a “glass darkly.” That means that understanding we now have can only be fully understood in life that is to come. So, Christians should not boast arrogantly that they know everything there is to know about Christianity or Bible. It just isn’t true. Christians should stand humbly in truth that has been revealed to them by Spirit of God, and win others to absolute truth about Jesus: He is way, truth, and life. This must be done with a loving heart for all mankind.

If there are no absolutes in this world then 2+2=12 or 6 or 8 or whatever it wants to equal—this is a child’s dream. If mathematics is relative, then a math student may use any answer he or she pleases. If there are no absolutes in this world, then why do we hold criminals accountable for wrongdoing? Why do we tell our children not to lie to us? How will they know what is a lie, and what is truth? There has to be absolute standards because there are absolute truths. God’s laws are absolute and universal. Honest—they are. I certainly wouldn’t lie to you about that! Pastor T.
