		<description><![CDATA[It goes almost unnoticed when people read through the Gospel, but in His teaching regarding prayer Jesus says, “When you pray” (Matthew 6:5, 7;compare verse 9 where He says, “Pray then like this”). The Master does not say, “If you pray”; He expects those who are truly His disciples to pray! Of course, when Jesus [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is priceless. A seasoned Christian who attended his church prayer meeting faithfully always spoke the same things during the time of public prayer. His prayer never varied: “O Lord, since we last gathered together, the cobwebs have come between us and Thee. Clear away the cobwebs, that we may again see Thy face. ” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe you have been “keeping score” and maybe you have not, but over the past several months this column has been considering the topic of prayer as Jesus taught. And, in these brief exhortations we have found that we are called to pray with developed guards upon our hearts and minds. For instance, we learned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Allow me to begin by stating an important truth: God will faithfully and unfailingly bless those who come to Him in sincere prayer. Without question, the Lord will recompense those of His children who biblically pray according to His will and Word. Jesus made it plain in Matthew 6:5-8 that those who pray insincerely and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are some things in the truth of God that, quite frankly, make the head ache if you think about them for very long! For instance, try to really get your mental arms around the biblical teaching regarding the Trinity. God is three personages and yet one Being. Each person of the Godhead is fully [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I try to have a theme. The teaching ministry at Elim largely goes through books of God’s Word verse-by-verse, but as we go through those times together, a theme for each book usually connects those studies. In counseling there is an attempt to work on one area at a time, and that gives a theme [...]]]></description>

In large part this was because of the elaborate display at the place that put the formerly small Missouri town on the map, Silver Dollar City. During the Christmas season (which they begin on November [...]]]></description>

Any proper reading of God’s truth and any genuine theology will always lead us to an understanding that God’s assessment of sinners in Genesis 6:5 (the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually) [...]]]></description>

He would almost always (after giving a few words of greeting) begin his epistle by laying out a solid doctrinal foundation, often spanning chapters, and then he would build upon that foundation with practical advice for living. It is a great example as it recalls [...]]]></description>
