Verse of the Day: 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

Praying Hands Albrecht Durer

Articles and News from My 18 Years as Prayer Coordinator
How many parents have sat with their children after an ordeal of some sort and said something to the effect, "I hope you learned something from that"? We don't want our children to miss the lessons, the opportunity for growth and maturity.
In the same way, our Father in heaven wants us to learn and grow from the trials He brings to our lives. That's part of the "joy" of which James speaks when he urges us to consider it all joy when we encounter trials of various kinds.
When…
Do you ever have trouble praying? Maybe you don’t know what to say. Or what you do say sounds like you pushed the replay button. You even get bored with your prayers. Or maybe the problem is motivation. You have the best intentions but actually getting around to prayer is a different matter.
God has an answer. It’s called corporate prayer. Corporate prayer is where you gather with other believers around the throne of grace to pray…
Equipping for Prayer
I appreciate John Whitsett's sharing his doctoral dissertation on corporate prayer. I believe we can bless one another with the resources God leads us to develop. His gesture spurred me on to share a training resource. I've written a booklet on prayer entitled, Why Do We Pray? (32 pages), as part of a series called "Basics of the Faith." It touches on topics like praying in Jesus' name, prayer and faith, where prayer gets its power, God's design for corporate prayer, praying the psalms, and…

Read more…Praying the Imprecatory Psalms by Stanley Gale (BreakPoint)
God's Hard Words Sometimes people post Bible verses in their homes for encouragement, or to remind themselves of something. My guess is not too many people have this passage from Psalm 137 posted on their refrigerator door: O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock! (Psalm 137:8-9) A framed print of that passage likely wouldn’t be a big…
