Praying for More than a Few Minutes
In this small article Paul describes why, at Grace Fellowship Church (aka my church) we set aside days of prayer. “When Grace Fellowship Church began we were one dependent lot.

Tullian Tchividjian writes movingly of his father who is in critical condition following a liver transplant. “When I walked into the ICU, I gasped. I cried. He was heavily sedated; tubes coming in and out of everywhere. Bloody bandages all over the place. He was bloated. He looked dead.

    Why We Can Confidently Persevere in Prayer

    I remember the days when my children were younger and would ask me to give them something—then ask me again, and ask me again. At that age, they had no ability to gain or purchase these things for themselves, so they were entirely dependent upon their parents to grant their requests (which were usually for…
