Confess your sins to each other when you pray (James 5:16). Quick, trite or repetitive prayers do not reveal what is really going on in your heart. Wordsmith your prayers much like you would any other conversation. If you said the same thing over and over again to your spouse, your marriage would grow stale and shallow. The same is true of your prayers. Keep them fresh, and take your time to say what needs to be said.

We can use prayer as a way of opening our hearts to God, not as a being living in an extra-dimensional heaven, but as the wellspring of creative energy within us and the universe. By quieting our minds, we can open ourselves to experience this divine ground directly.

Prayer in the Hebrew Bible is an evolving means of interacting with God, most frequently through a spontaneous, individual, unorganized form of petitioning and/or thanking. ... In these instances, such as with Isaac, Moses, Samuel, and Job, the act of praying is a method of changing a situation for the better.

La naturaleza infinita de Dios significa simplemente que Dios existe aparte de, y no está limitado por el tiempo o el espacio. Infinito significa “sin límites:” Cuando nos referimos a Dios como “infinito,” generalmente nos referimos a Él con términos como omnisciente, omnipotente, omnipresente, etc. Omnisciente significa que Dios lo sabe todo, o que Él tiene un conocimiento ilimitado. Su conocimiento infinito es lo que lo califica como gobernante y juez soberano sobre todas las cosas. No sólo sa...

Después de leer el pasaje de hoy, ¿puede nombrar al hombre a quien Juan dirigió esta carta? Sería conveniente que tengamos en cuenta a Gayo, porque Juan lo describe como un anciano amado que andaba en la verdad, que actuaba fielmente en lo que hacía, y que amaba a los desconocidos que visitaban la iglesia. Aunque esta carta fue escrita a Gayo alrededor del 90 d. C., la primera mención de él en la Biblia aparece más de 30 años antes, durante el tercer viaje misionero de Pablo. Era originario de D...

Imagínese que alguien le pregunta si Dios ha sido bueno con usted. ¿Qué es lo primero que le viene a la cabeza? ¿Piensa en cosas materiales como una casa o un automóvil? Esas cosas son excelentes, pero aunque no tenga ninguna señal externa de sus bendiciones, todavía puede decir que Dios ha sido bueno con usted. La bondad de Dios se expresa por medio de su misericordia. Por lo general, hablamos de la misericordia del Señor en relación con su plan de salvación, que nos rescata de la esclavitud al...

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness!” (Psalm 100:1–2). Sometimes I just get so amazed. People will say, “I don’t think you should be talking about the pursuit of joy. I think you should be talking about serving Jesus and obeying Jesus.” I say, “What Bible do you read?” “Serve the Lord with gladness!” Serve the Lord with gladness! This is not rocket science. This is clear! Serve the Lord with gladness! There is a kind of service he doesn’t like: murmuring ...

In Matthew 6:24, Jesus says we cannot love both God and money. Each is a powerful master and motivator. But we can prove which one comes first in our heart through the following actions. 1. We tithe. “‘Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need’” (Malachi 3:10).

Job is blameless and upright, a man of such integrity that even God likes to show him off. If anyone deserves blessings, Job does. Yet one day God puts him to the test. Job”s life falls to pieces; calamity of every kind descends upon him. Raiders sweep his fields; his livestock are captured or destroyed; his servants are put to the sword; a house collapses on his sons and daughters and kills them all.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.

I’ve been on a number of mountaintops in the US in my time, and I can tell you that not much grows up there. The summits of mountains are bare rock and lichen. That’s not where you would normally find an abundance of grain. But Solomon, who wrote Psalm 72, asked God for “an abundance of grain . . . on the top of the mountains,” to characterize his reign as king. If grain on the mountain is so unusual, what is Solomon suggesting? That God’s power can produce results in even the most unpromising s...

We may be familiar with the phrase “witnessing for Christ,” but do we know why we should witness for the Lord and how we should do it? Witnessing for Christ means simply telling others what we have personally seen and experienced of the Lord Jesus. When we received Him as our Savior, our first reaction might have been to tell our best friend all about our salvation, that is, to witness to them of Christ. This is what Philip did in John 1:45. Immediately after he met the Lord, he found Nathaniel ...
