Our Father
Basic Gospel
Published on 09/01/2016
This month is all about prayer. And prayer is really an extension of faith. Jesus taught his disciples "when you pray...". It's not an 'if', it is a 'when'. When tragedy hits people pray. But what distinguishes Christian prayer from all others? It's to whom we pray. We all know how the prayer starts: "Our Father...". This reflects what happens when we become children of God and our hearts cry out, "Abba, Father". * Wanda asks about "by his stripes we are healed". * Where do they get the title of reverend? * Kim asks the tough question about choosing to continue medical treatment or not. Her concern is whether God would still receive her if she stops treatment. * Nate wonders how the Kingdom of God can be here and now in the midst of the world's depravity.
