And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the...

Paul and Timothy had heard about the good things happening in Colossae and were inspired to write the church a letter. In their letter they explained how they were praying for the church. Their example shows us how we, too, should pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Specifically, it shows us how we should pray when we do not know of a specific need they have.

"For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with th...

"...and he will heal us..."

Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

A mother came to me in tears. "I have prayed until I don't know if I can pray anymore," she said. "My daughter has turned away from God, and it seems the more I pray, the more trouble she gets into, and the further away from God she goes. I have carried this load so many years!" She looked at me with sad, weary eyes and asked, "Do you think there is still any hope for her?" I did my best to assure this praying mother there is hope! We discussed Galatians 6:9: "And let us not be weary in well ...

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).

Christmas is the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" for many, but a difficult time for those who are hurting. During this holiday season, let us not forget to pray for those who are hurting or who have experienced loss.

If we ever needed the Lord before
We sure do need Him now
Oh, we sure do need Him now
Oh, Lord, we sure do need Him now

Pray for each family by name when possible. 
(An internet search may provide those you do not know.)
Pray for God's protection over your neighborhood

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word,
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.

To believe in God: Jesus is always good and most of us as Apostolic Christians are glad we do. But to have Faith in the Christian Bible is also good. However, that alone will often eventually result in a Religion such as a Christian Religious belief in God some refer to as associated with a denomination.

A Christian Religion is not what the Christian Bible tells me God sent his only son into this world for us to receive. God sent Christ to die for our sins so we will receive and have Salvation...

Those who are saved know the New Testament is the Word of God by which we believe in Jesus and got saved (Acts 2:38 KJV process). But I really love the Old Testament. There never seems to be an end to seeing God in His unique manner concerning His Godly People from the Old Testament in relation to others. I remember when I did my years of detailed Home Bible Study Training many years ago, every time we went into the Old Testament for examples to help explain the New Testament Scripture we got...

This is a sad day [June 26, 2015] in America when SCOTUS can legislate above the Law of God. I sent the White House the following message: "I fear for my country. This is not the same country I grew up in."

God fearing people: It is past time to arise...and let us lift up our voice in one accord. If we could get 1/2 of the 300,000 + churches in America to rise up and lay hold of the horns of the altar this country would turn in the right direction.

Well, it's all right...all right
Well, it's all right...all right

My husband had just gotten off the phone with another minister who asked prayer for his only son who had left the Lord. I felt a burden so heavy in my heart that I started to call out his name to the Lord in prayer. I got up from my chair to make myself some hot tea, and then returned to my chair to pray. As I reached for my favorite cup, it seemed that another cup close to it flew off the shelf. I closed my eyes tightly as I heard the cup crash unto the floor unusually broken into a million ...

Many Americans today don’t think they have a place for church in their lives.

“But they believe the church has a place for them, when or if they are interested,” said Scott McConnell, vice president of LifeWay Research, which issued a new survey Wednesday (June 3) on perceptions of religious denominations.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". ~ Edmund Burke

In my opinion, for far too long, the church has taken a passive role when it comes to politics. I guess I have to be honest and forthcoming to tell you that I don't really believe it is possible to separate "church" and "state". You see the Bible says, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all th...

…You knew you loved your child the moment you held her in your arms. Or maybe you knew when you first saw the double lines on the at-home prego test. Either way, your child has become your universe. You’ve had his puke, tears and poo on your finest clothes and barely batted an eye. You’ve rocked, soothed, shushed and cuddled until you could literally see the adoration oozing from your pores. Your conversations and Facebook updates are all about him. Yes, he’s become as important to yo...
