Teach Us To Pray

And it came to pass, that as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples – Luke 11:1.

Prayer is communication with our Father, when we pray, we should examine ourselves to see where there may have been an area we may have sinned by thought or actions. Examine our actions, did we offend anyone verbally or through our behavior? If we have unforgiveness towards anyone, forgive them and release them before making our request. Read More

Discipleship is an investment that lasts for eternity and yields incredible rewards. Read More

Both young and old need to be reminded just as premarital sex was forbidden then for those who were professing to be Christians, it still goes for today’s professing Christians. Read More
