Introduction Misunderstanding Prayer Did you know that adoring God with worship is an essential part of prayer? This question comes to mind after realizing I have been approaching it incorrectly for many years. Instead of adoring God as Lord, I would make requests and say thank you for a few blessings. Unfortunately, after expressing gratitude, I would continue my day without “ascribing God the glory due his name.” My petitions indicated that I lacked the spiritual maturity to understand what...

Despite being a rival on the hardwood, Jrue Holiday’s faith in Jesus Christ makes him a brother off the court. And this brother has a phenomenal story of family, faith, and burden-bearing selflessness that... Read more

Or could it be that the historical strides of the past cause the present generation to take freedom for granted? Or is it... Read more
