Defining Prayer

| No TrackBacks

One of the most important things that we can do as a Christian is to pray in line with our covenantal rights. But we often don't do this because we misunderstand what prayer is. Let me define prayer by first saying what prayer is not. Prayer is not simply talking to God.

Faith and Our Feet

Faith is not about how much you believe in what you believe. Faith is about believing that the One you believe in is believable. In fact, you can have all of the faith in the world that your SUV is going to take off and fly you to Canada cruising at 12,000 feet in the air. But that won't change the fact that you're still going to be stuck in traffic somewhere with all four wheels firmly on the ground.

Understanding the Power of Worship

The Bible says in Psalm 22:3 that He actually lives and dwells in our praises. This is the mystery and the miracle of the breakthrough power and presence of God when we worship! When we worship, we affirm the truth of God's Word, and it is being rooted deep in our hearts.

Do You Look Like Jesus?

Genesis 1:27 reads, "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Because God is essentially spirit, He created us with a spirit. In this way, our likeness to God sets us apart from any other created being. We also have the power to think and feel, and to make moral choices.

Lighten Your Load, by Corey L. Brown

| No TrackBacks
"Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1, KJV).

Often times we are hindered from doing what we are suppose to do because we carry excess baggage. I want to suggest that a lot of us are not carrying out our assignment because we are bearing a load that God never intended for us to bear. We have been slowed down from effectively doing God's will because an extra load is weighing us down.

Seeing the Secret, by Dr. Tony Evans

Dear Y.B.M.:

I trust that you have been doing well since my last letter. Today, I am writing this letter from the law library at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. By the way, I just had a long and interesting conversation with a young black man who is a law student here.

In this letter, I want to expand on something that I barely touched on in a previous letter: i.e., the importance of the Bible in your life. Frankly, if you desire to be truly successful in life, you will need to read, meditate upon, and obey the Bible. In doing so, God promises good success. Notice what God says in Joshua 1:8:

Marriage is God's House, by Dr. Tony Evans

| No TrackBacks
tony-evans.jpgIf you were to come over to my house, I would welcome you inside but there would be a set of rules by which to abide. Just like I would need to abide by the rules for your house. For example, in my home, I don't allow smoking. So if you smoke, you would need to put out your cigarette before you came in my home.

"And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14).

In our text for today, we discover that God's people are in exile. While in exile a plot is made by Haman, a Persian nobleman, to get rid of all the Jews. Mordecai, a Jew, refused to kneel down and honor Haman and now Haman has decided to take things out on the Jews.
