WHAT IS PRAYER

God loves each one of us, no matter what situation we’re in. Even in our sinfulness when we call out for help, our loving Father hastens to our rescue. He doesn’t judge us based on the wrongdoings of our past; instead He holds us close to Him and embraces us with His infinite love and mercy. Have you experienced this love?

THE CULTURE

WISE WORDS

Most, if not all, of us, have enemies or people that we don’t get on with, in our lives. Jesus tells us, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:44) Wait what? Love your enemies? How am I supposed to love the people that are openly hostile to me? Most of us say its just too difficult and ignore the idea of loving our enemies. The truth is that Jesus, in his infinite wisdom, knew what he was talking about.
