A Little Bit of Something
“A Little Bit of Something is Better Than All of Nothing” is a phrase I remember since early childhood. In theory, it sounds logical. I'd rather have a little piece of candy than none at all. Wouldn't we all (unless you're diabetic, allergic or...
Jain Religion is not to follow
There is a common misunderstanding about Jain Religion that it is too rigorous to be acceptable to all. The average man is attracted more towards a religion, which can be easily practiced. Therefore, how can a religion in which harsh penance etc,...

Theology, Hollywood Style
After years of watching TV shows and movies, I think I have finally gotten a grasp on Hollywood's theology and it's not a pretty picture (pun intended). It should come as no surprise to anyone that Hollywood's theology is vastly different from that...

Works, Works, or Works?
Scenario No. 1
A child has just become a victim of a hit and run accident, lying in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Their back could be injured, making it not safe to move them.
You pray, "Oh, dear God, 'help me' bless this child. Help him or her to not feel fearful and ease their pain. I know that you're the Great Healer. So, I'm going to take this child home with me and decorate a bedroom for them to stay (making them feel welcomed and comfortable) as they're healing."
Scenario No. 2
Second verse, same as the first. It ain't no better, but it does get worse.
A child has just become a victim of a hit and run accident, lying in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Their back could be injured, making it not safe to move them.
You pray, "Oh, dear God, bless this child today. Help them to not feel fearful and ease their pain. I know you're the Great Healer and in control of all things. So, protect them from oncoming traffic and may help come soon," then keep going, to meet your appointment.
Scenario No. 3
A child has just become a victim of a hit and run accident, lying in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Their back could be injured, making it not safe to move them.
You pray, "Oh, dear God, here I am. Send me. Bless this child through me. Let
me hear the need of their heart. Give me Your words to meet that need, as we wait together. I know you're the Great Healer. Guide me as to how to best bring comfort and ease their pain. And, Lord, being in control of all things, protect us from oncoming traffic and give someone the heart to call for help."
WORKS of the Flesh - Dead WORKS - WORKS of Faith.
- Three choices in how to pray -
Consider reading the following verse this way...
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, seeking my face (which is turning from their wicked ways) then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
~ Works that Work ~
The next time you feel led to pray, try reporting for instruction. Then, watch God begin to heal the hearts and lives of people.
