Asking in Prayer

by

Reflections Asking in Prayer Ask, and it shall be given you. (Mat 7:7) What does it mean to ASK God? That is really the question about prayer, because we would be dishonest to say that God gives every time we ask. He doesn’t. There are many times when God is silent even when we think we have a great need. Of course, we must ask, “according to His will,” (I Jn. 5:14) That better defines the meaning. But it also raises another question: If we are, “to ask according to His will,” then aren’t we asking God to do what …

This Church’s Psalm

by

This Church’s Psalm “If you could spend the day with anyone from history, who would it be?”. How many times have we heard this question asked? And each time we hear it, we hear another answer to the question that makes us think about it again. The answers to this question pour out of us. We hear the names of history from Julius Caesar to Abraham Lincoln. We hear the names of the Bible from Abraham, Moses, to John. We hear the names of discoverers and literary minds, like Da Vinci, Aristotle, and William Shakespeare. And still others give us …

My God

by

My God Church folks, and others, often tell me what their god is like. They tell me, “My god doesn’t judge people”, or ,”My god wouldn’t send people to hell.”etc. I tell them ,”You are right. Your god wouldn’t send people to hell because your god doesn’t exist. He/she/it is just a figment of your imagination. A vain hope and a frivolous faith in wishful thinking. (I usually say it nicer than that) But for the benefit of those who invent gods instead of worshipping God; let me tell you of my God My God is the living God, the …

The Night The Angels Cried Dr. Mike Murphy

by

The Night The Angels Cried Dr. Mike Murphy So many times, I have wondered what it must have been like. To have been present in the small town of Judea on that incredible night. To have watched the crowds as they filled the city. To have heard the first cry of an infant born. As those in Bethlehem that night looked into the peacefulness of the sky, I wonder if any knew how those cries would soon and forever change the world? As beautiful as the stars must have shown that night, I also wonder what the view was like …

Then clouds of doubt began to form, The wind did stir and blow; My tranquil sea did heave and toss, I felt my anguish grow. I cried, “Dear Lord, are you out there? You see my ship storm-tossed?

The Covetous Nation

by

The Covetous Nation Every day they past beside each other on the street, but they might have well lived in two different cities. Each day they locked eyes, but with each glance they never saw the other.. Though they shared the same first name, they lived in two different worlds in society’s eyes. They were the same age, and had grown up within a few miles of each other. So much they had in common, but so little keep them a world apart. James managed one of the top investment firms in the city. In the twenty years since college, …
