Pray Without Ceasing To pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17) has always been a tough phrase to grasp. There are so many interpretations on Paul’s words. Do we continually pray in some way? Is there a way to always hold ourselves in prayer? Some thoughts: 1. Pray the Word. Have Scripture in your heart and mind…yes, MEMORIZE… so phrases or…

News Flash My earlier comments regarding Bill Buckley and Larry Norman were not meant as affirmations or denials of their place, or lack thereof, in heaven.

Larry Norman on the one hand, Bill Buckley on the other. William F Buckley passed away this week. He was a master of vocabulary and could…

Paul challenges me in the life of prayer. In seasons where I am so busy I don’t have time to breath, it seems, how do I pick up the challenge of Paul who constantly told people, “I am always lifting you up in prayer?” I wish I could be next to Paul and learn from him on this matter. He…
