How to pray: For some of us we really don’t know how to pray. It is a new concept for us, for we were never taught how to, because we are new to following Jesus. Well, it is a good thing that the Bible teaches us how to pray. There are several scripture passages that [...]

WHY PRAY AND WHAT TO PRAY FOR!

1

Why pray. The easiest answer for me is, that we can have communication with God, this will allow all of us to have an intimate relationship with him. Prayer gives us an avenue to come to God with our petitions asking God to help us with something, like asking God to forgive us for doing something wrong, our thankfulness for [...]

My family, ex-tended family, distant relatives, friends and acquaintances, all of this group of people have asked me to pray for them, and I have.  But this made me wonder if these people really know what prayer is.  [...]

Good Morning Everyone!

Uncategorized

Sometimes we say and do things that we think is right but we find out that we need to change our way of thinking. That is what I am learning. I was brought up that everything is black and white, I am learning that everything is not black and white. Do you think everything is black and white?

I am learning that there is a lot of grey area’s as well. I recieved, more of this education again last night from 3 people on Twitter. It may seam to them that I did not understand them right away, but I always mull things over and realized that I still need to broaden my way of thinking.

If I do not broaden my way of thinking and understanding, then I can not fully Love everyone around me like Jesus had told me to. All of us, need to broaden our way of thinking and try to understand other peoples views on things, for if we don’t at least try to understand them, we can not fully Love them, the way God and Jesus told us to.

Therefore, lets all listen to people around us with an open mind and heart, the grey area’s, so that we can Love the people around us the way God and Jesus told us to, not condemn them and come down on them, with a heavy handed approach, like we have done in the past. Because if we do, we cannot Love them, or Show them an understanding, Loving Father and His son Jesus properly.

Good Morning Everyone!

Today is the day when we go to Gods house to learn more about Him!

Today is the day we set aside to Worship and Praise Him!

Today is the day we go and fellowship with our brothers and sisters in the Lord!

Today is the day we go to church with our family members and spend the day together!

Today is the day we get to pray together so we can stay together!

Today is the day we learn how to Forgive each other and Love each other!

We are told to Forgive, Love, Pray, Worship, Fellowship together, so that we can Encourage each other, and Lift each other up so that we can be strong and remain in Him! As well, then we will know and learn what our Lord wants us to do for Him and for others around us.

Therefore, lets all go to Gods house, the church, and do the above mentioned things, so those who do not know Him will learn about Him through US and from US!

Today’s scripture reading is 1 John 1: 5 – 10
