The “Yeses” just keep piling up! Is that surprising to you, too? What also surprises me is what we are taught in church about prayer. This may depend upon your denomination and background, but most Christians I have talked to have common ideas about prayer. However, if you dig into the Scripture, you can’t really find examples of these things actually happening. These ideas are taught to young children, and they ...

Truly, if this were the case, there would be no point whatsoever in praying for faraway hurricane victims, people starving in concentration camps, people dying of cancer, people traveling, civic leaders, or anyone outside your personal sphere of influence. Yet we are commanded to pray for these...

We are endowed with the same rights and designed with the same qualities by an all-powerful Maker. This thread of equality runs throughout the entirety of God’s word and as Christians, we are commanded to express those values to others. We need to equip ourselves with the knowledge of God’s word to combat the false teaching of racism, ...
