In today’s world, we cannot get on social media without reading requests for urgent prayer. People’s lives depend upon prayer; it’s serious! Yet, many people don’t feel like they can get a prayer through or at least they wonder if it is actually possible. In a time when most of society thinks they can have their own truth and demand one of the many gods to obey their commands, people are at a loss for real communication with the one true God that has purposefully designed the only real truth!

Clean Ourselves Up and Out! Part 2

You Got The Next Minute!
Ugh!!! Lord, I’ve failed again! It’s just January 4th and I’ve already broken my diet (What? I got really, really hungry!), quit exercising (Yah, you know I just don’t have the energy that I used to.), failed to pray daily, (I fell asleep a few times before I remembered!), and I’ve not been faithful to read my Bible daily.

Perhaps you had a strong desire to do what is right when you made…
