Other News:

"A man's concept of God determines the depth of his prayer life." This makes a lot of sense. In fact, it could also be argued that a person's concept of God determines what he or she prays for. As I think back on my prayers over the last week, what does the content of my prayers reveal about my concept of God? Wow, that's an interesting thing to think about. May God draw us near to Him so that we can see Him "high and lifted up" - right where He belongs!

"The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray." - Samuel Chadwick
