The Holy Spirit and Prayer

“Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.” Galatians 5:16 Many of us desire to have a meaningful prayer life; to set aside more time for God and grow in our relationship with Him, but time and again we fail. The triumph over Satan’s attempts to distract us in our prayer time is not easy.

Open yourself up to the influence of the Holy Spirit,...

True Love Allows Freedom

“He came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him.” John 1:11 If you love someone you allow him or her the freedom that their spirit needs. It is only by setting someone free the bonds of mutual love may be strengthened. The principle of generous love forms the basis of the Christian gospel. God allows you the freedom of choice to either believe in Him or reject Him. Christ does not want to compel you love Him.

God’s Love Has No Price

Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!” Acts 8:20 Many people believe that money can buy them everything. While this may be true of material possessions, it cannot buy things like peace, joy and fullness of life. These qualities have no price tags. They are God’s gifts of grace to us. We enjoy everything that is good and worthwhile by the grace of God. We don’t deserve these things, we cannot earn them and we are not worthy of them, but we receive them because of Christ’s...

Faith Is a Process of Growth

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ” 2 Peter 3:18 It is sad that many Christians make little progress in their spiritual lives after accepting Christ as their Savior. Ask yourself: Is Christ becoming more real to me? Is prayer essential in my decision making? Do I find God’s will for my life in the Scriptures? Am I nearer to Christ ? It makes courage to answer these questions. Allow this to be a prelude to renewing your faith in Christ and there will be no end to the growth and development it...
