Luk 11.2
“And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, ‘Our Father which art in heaven…’”
Are you praying what is commonly called “The Lord’s Prayer”? No, I’m not asking if your congregation repeats it by rote every Lord’s Day AM – not all bad, but may not be all good either. I’m asking are YOU, personally, privately, (hopefully) tearfully praying “Our Father which art in heaven…”? Allow me to encourage you to pray “The Lord’s Prayer” within the next few hours. Give yourself time to pray it through phrase by phase, even word by word. It is the Model Prayer Christ left us.

* TRINITY * (13.)
Heb 10.29…hath trodden under foot the Son of God, & hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, & hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
THE SUN DIES
The sun is “born” and “dies” every night,
Reminding in its over-head flight,
That life starts low – level of the eye,
Life ends low – at edge of earth and sky.
Regardless of how the sun may soar
Or how bright its light from “eight to four”
It always sets, finds its final time;
Matters not how heady-high its climb.
Grand ladies and men, alike the low slave,
Have earthly life closings, at the grave.

Act 7.55
“But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and
saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God”
When a congregation is being robbed of the Classic Hymns of historic Christianity, is being robbed of strong corporate praying, is being robbed of singing by a soul who touched heaven that AM before coming to minister, is being robbed of Holy Ghost anointed preaching, it, my friend, is a church in poverty. Don’t count a church’s wealth by sleek cars in the lot or fine coats on a rack. Real richness is in the Power & Presence of Christ in the sanctuary!

“…The poor man that loveth Christ is richer than
the greatest man in the world that hates him.”
– John Bunyan
Eating breakfast in a motel this AM I heard (my back was to the TV) “talking heads.” Whether the “news” they were discussing was real or fake I can’t say. But one way or the other, if gullible people “buy into” what they’re saying, the public is being influenced the way a news source wants. Stop believing all you hear on radio, see on TV or internet. Go to 3-5 news sources for an attempt at balance & then sort.
