How is your prayer life?

"Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full."
{John 16:24}

What a privilege is ours - the privilege of prayer! We can only do this because Jesus has opened the way. 

We are to pray in times of adversity, lest we become faithless and unbelieving. 
We are to pray in times of prosperity, lest we become boastful and proud. 
We are to pray in times of danger, lest we become fearful and doubting. 
We are to pray in times of security, lest we become self-sufficient. 

Pray believing in the promise of Gods Word that "if we ask anything according to HIS will, He will hear us"(1 John 5:14). 

How's your prayer life? Have a blessed day!

Who Do You Say I Am?

Who do you say that I am? {Matthew 16:15)

CS Lewis pointed out that there are 4 possible conclusions that one can reach about Jesus: either He was a liar, He was self-deceived, He was insane, or He is the Son of God. Which is He? 

The logical conclusion is that He is the Son of God. A liar couldn't have taught the lofty moral principles that Jesus did. A self-deceiver couldn't have preformed the miracles that Jesus did. A lunatic couldn't have held up under the pressure the way that Jesus did. 

There is an even more compelling reason to believe Jesus is the Son Of God:His resurrection from the dead. In all of history,only one person came back from the grave! Who do you say He is?
