We started our new discipleship study on Wednesday, the message was "The Church and You." One of the scriptures was I Cor. 12:12-31, where Paul writes about the importance of the individual parts of the body in comparison to the individual members in the body of Christ.

I have been reading "Discover the Real Jesus" by Bill Bright. There is this line that reads "Jesus expects us to pray in Faith."

I was thinking about the comments by Frances Chan of how sometimes Christians are afraid to step out in faith and stand on an extreme prayer request that is asked in line with the will of God. We are afraid of the rejection or that if something doesn't... Continue Reading →
