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...

"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.

Fox News reports Monifa Sterling had posted the Old Testament quote, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper,” on her computer. When a superior asked her to remove it, the lance corporal refused. The next day, Sterling found the paper in the trash.

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...
