OCTOBER 14 “Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” — Matthew 6:9

Key Elements in Prayer

In our day of short attention spans, it is often hard for people to learn how to pray effectively. Too often we come to God with all sorts of petitions and intercessions like, “God bless Uncle John and Aunt Sue and Grandma,” and we are sending prayers all over the place, yet the sender is broken down. We have no ability to have prayers answered because we ourselves are often not right with God. Of course, there is more to prayer... More

OCTOBER 13 “This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” — 1 John 5:14

Getting Prayers Answered

In dealing with unanswered prayer, note that all of Jesus’ prayers were answered. “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me” (John 11:41), Jesus said. Now why was this? It was not simply because of His divine nature, but because, like a good Son, He was committed to His Father. He is the one who could say, “…for I always do those things that please Him” (John 8:29). “This is My beloved Son, in... More

OCTOBER 12 “…And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.” — Mark 13:10

Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus used to be a hero. Today, he is politically incorrect and unjustly blamed for many of the bad things done in the wake of his historic voyage. His name, Christopher, means “Christ-bearer.” Pherein , the second part of his name, means “to bear”—the one who bears Christ. Interestingly, the pilot of the Niña, one of the three ships made famous by Columbus, drew a map of the known... More

OCTOBER 11 “Do not abandon me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me.” — Psalm 38:21

Unanswered Prayer

Unanswered prayers—the bane of every Christian’s life—is the distressing problem of the children of God down through the centuries. It is, in fact, the cause of spiritual retrogression. It is because of unanswered prayers, perhaps more than any other reason, that Christians pray less, and when they pray less, their lives are less changed by God and their prayers are consequently less answered. The result is that, having... More

OCTOBER 10 “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14

A Nation in Need of Prayer

Every once in a while a national tragedy takes place. For a short time, it jolts many people into returning to church or looking to God for help. Then fairly soon after, many go back to business as usual. It is tragic that such horrible things as what took place in Columbine would be necessary to awaken an apathetic people to the need for this country to return to God. Solzhenitsyn, the great author and intellectual of the Soviet Union,... More

OCTOBER 9 “If Christ is not raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.” — 1 Corinthians 15:17

Just the Product of Change?

Are we just random accidents, with no future hope beyond the grave? Evolutionists essentially believe we are. Listen to what British atheist Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) said in his book, Why I Am Not a Christian : “…man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving…” Evolution says we’re here by accident. Continues Russell: “…his origin, his growth, his hopes... More

OCTOBER 8 “But one thing is needed. And Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.” — Luke 10:42

Listening to Jesus

The late motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once made an interesting comment about focus. He said something to this effect, “Suppose you took an outside stack of old newspapers; papers that would easily go up in flames with the right input and a magnifying glass on a sunny day. If you took that glass and you slowly moved it around in an unfocused way, nothing would happen. But if you carefully allowed the magnifying glass to stay at the... More
