By:James Jordan The question is raised by atheists who want to discredit the whole work. It is also raised by legalistic Christians who judge you by which one you use. The reason for translations Translations are not necessarily in competition. They can be aimed at different audiences. Some are best for reading large chunks at once.…

Prayer in the Workplace Oct 30, 2024 Of the 132 instances recorded in the Gospels, 122 of Jesus’ interactions with people took place in homes or places of business, not in places of worship. He prayed and healed and ministered in the midst of daily life – in the streets of the marketplaces and in the family kitchens. He may have said, “Come to Me,” but in truth, He went to people and touched them where they lived and worked. As you pray for those whose lives you touch,…

5 Church-Killing Blindspots …and 5 Steps to Pursue Transformation Phil Miglioratti @ The Reimagine.Network Christianity is a word we use to identify believers-in and followers-of Jesus of Nazareth. But it can easily become a substitute for a truly Spirit-led, Scripture-fed relationship with God. Christ-ianity can become just another religious sect. Christ-ians can become believers in their preferred brand of systemic theology. Church can morph into a culture-encapsulated form of worship…

Thanks for welcoming me to the Forum. I had thought I was already a member through the Prayer Leaders Network, but the sign in process wouldn’t allow me to sign in using my passwords from that site, so I created another account.
I had wanted to commend the article that I received from y’all by email about dealing with 4 realities that make it difficult for Intercessors/prayer ministry leaders and pastors/church leadership to build a praying culture in the church. I thought it was very insightful and a helpful perspective. Thank you for the article.
Hi Phil.
As a new member, I received 2 emails from you.
The first, informing me that my membership had been approved, contained 4 links all containing significant errors. None of the links worked, but I was able to deduce what the errors were so correct them for access. Not a good start! You should examine the links in the email that was sent two me to ensure this doesn't happen to other new members.
Links in the second email regarding my profile appear to be OK.
Steve
Thank you!
Thanks, Bro!!!
