Praying for God’s will involves complete surrender of your will to His and severing all ties to your own wants, desires, and plans. It is the embodiment of Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” This is giving all of...
READ MOREThe “Lord’s Prayer” is important because Jesus gave it to us when His disciples asked Him how to pray. Prayer in the life of a Christian is not optional; it is a vital part of the relationship each believer has with his or her heavenly Father.

READ MOREThe moral compass is a God-given gift to each person (Romans 2:13-15) whether saved or lost. A basic understanding of right and wrong is written on every person’s heart.

READ MOREThe best way to reintroduce Christian values into American society is to start with intense and intentional prayer (2 Chronicles 7:14).
