One of the things I’ve done with my children, ever since the oldest was a baby, is to read Christian biographies to them. I want them to know the heroes of the faith — the pioneers, the generals, and the unknowns — of whom the world was not worthy. Many (most?) Christians today have never […]

“Living by faith” is a term used by and about those who trust God for their financial needs. Some famous people who lived by faith are George Mueller, Rees Howells, Hudson Taylor, and Lillian Trasher. There are no set guidelines for living by faith.

The other day, I was looking at Every Home for Christ‘s website, and discovered that Dick Eastman has done a 40th Anniversary version of Change the World School of Prayer. In fact, he and EHC have created a Global Prayer School that is free to anyone wanting to learn more about prayer. This is a

AKA, Chapter 4, The Answer to Prayer is Receiving These are my notes/thoughts from John R. Rice’s Prayer: Asking and Receiving A few years ago, I used to hang out in an online Christian forum. When the forum first began, it was open to many ideas and different viewpoints of the Christian faith. But as it

These are my notes/thoughts from John R. Rice’s Prayer: Asking and Receiving In the last chapter, Mr. Rice emphasized that if it ain’t asking, then it ain’t prayin’ (southern emphasis added). Adoration, thanksgiving, confession are all necessary, but they are not prayer. Prayer is asking, pure and simple. In this chapter, his emphasis is if you

These are my notes/thoughts from John R. Rice’s Prayer: Asking and Receiving. These next two chapters are a couple of my most favorite in this book. These two chapters lay the foundation for the book. In chapter three, Mr. Rice repeats over and over that “Prayer is asking.” Nothing else is prayer. Adoration, Praise, Thanksgiving, Confession,
