Fighting the Right Enemy
Is there really a spiritual war? Do we believe that ...
Is there really a spiritual war? Do we believe that there is such a thing as a spiritual reality? If we don't, we will engage the wrong enemy. Instead of fighting the powers of Satan, we will target other humans, often with hatred and violence. Spiritual warfare practiced through love and prayer is central to the Christian walk, but we need constant reminders in our Western culture that there really is a spiritual war going on.

Taking Back the House

In Luke 11, Jesus talks about this world as a "house" that Satan guards. As Kingdom people, what do we do with that? If we look to Jesus, he simply tells us to take back the house. And how exactly do we do that? We don't adopt the patterns of Satan and try to overcome violence with violence. Looking again to Jesus, he shows us that the only thing that can overpower evil, and that is self-sacrificial love. Only love can conquer evil; only light can dispel darkness.

Scorpions, Eggs and Prayer, Part 2

Why does it seem like some prayers work while others don't give us the results we want? If our prayers don't seem to work, who is to blame? God? Ourselves? Others? To begin to understand prayer, we must break free from a simplistic and commonly held 'magical view' of prayer. There are many variables that affect prayer and faith and how they work together.

We live in a spiritual war zone. We must partner with God to bring about his will on earth as it is in heaven. How can we do this? Simply through prayer! We can impact the world by laboring with God to resist the forces of evil through spiritual warfare. We can join in this battle by praying continually with faith and persistence believing our prayers will impact the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

The Insane Importance of Prayer
Is prayer really that important? Does it really play a ...
Is prayer really that important? Does it really play a purpose in the grand scheme of things? If we believe the Scriptures to be true, it seems that prayer is 'insanely' important - so much that we are to pray with 'shameless audacity.' Some get bogged down with the idea of prayer because they see it as a religious ritual that is too complex and difficult to do in our regular lives. Yet the reality is that prayer is basically talking with God in an ordinary way about our ordinary lives.

Can God Trust You?

Every day we confront choices that reflect and form our character. Will we live for ourselves, or for the Kingdom? God wants us to be trustworthy for Kingdom service and it's true that he tests us to refine our character, but he doesn't tempt anyone. If that's true, why does Jesus teach us to pray, 'lead us not into temptation?'

Is the good news of Jesus Christ really as good in your mind as it was in the mind of Jesus? God's dream for humanity is far more amazing than most of us realize. He wants to "marry" us, to invite us into his family and walk in radical love with us.

Daily Bread, Daily Forgiveness

In the next part of the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches that prayer is about daily dependence on God to meet our needs, even though most people in our self-sufficient world do not think this way. We also discover the crucial role that forgiveness plays in our lives and the surprising freedom it can bring.
