Jesus intends to create a praying people. His demand is clear, and the issue is so important that he tells us why, how, for whom, and what we are to pray. And though we might think that the Son of God would be above the need to pray, he sets the example for us, as a perfect human being, by rising early in the morning to pray (Mark 1:35) and seeking times alone to pray (Matt. 14:23) and sometimes spending the whole night in prayer (Luke 6:12) and, in the end, preparing for his suffering by prayer (Luke 22:41-42).
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray...2 Chronicles 7:14

Preach the Gospel
What can we do to help unbelievers be born again? Open our mouths, and tell people the good news of Christ from a heart of love and a life of service. II Cor. 4:5.

The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards
No better time than January 1st, to resolve in your heart that your resolutions in 2011 will be weighty and worthwhile - of eternal significance.
The following resolutions were written by Jonathan Edwards (1 through 21 were written in one sitting in New Haven in 1722).
Allow God to move on your heart with a conviction to live wholly for Him in 2011. Commit to share Edward's 24th resolution "to fight and pray with all my might..."
The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards (1722-1723)
Being sensible that I am unable to do anything without God's help, I do humbly entreat him by his grace to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ's sake.
Remember to read over these Resolutions once a week.
Who Do You Think I Am?
With that brief question Jesus Christ confronted His followers with the most important issue they would ever face. He had spent much time with them and made some bold claims about His identity and authority. Now the time had come for them either to believe or deny His teachings.
Who do you say Jesus is? Your response to Him will determine not only your values and lifestyle, but your eternal destiny as well.
Consider what the Bible says about Him:
Who do you say Jesus is? Your response to Him will determine not only your values and lifestyle, but your eternal destiny as well.
Consider what the Bible says about Him:
For God So Loved the Word...
...that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
