All in Authority

Who Rules our Heart? Who Rules our House? Who Rules our Life?

There is nothing that will destroy a family, a church, a community, or a country, more swiftly, and certainly, than internal bickering, and discord. As Christians we are not meant to fuss and fight amongst ourselves, but to comfort one another, and to live in peace. However there are those whose sights are set on power over humility, ruling over serving, and man’s law over God’s commandments. We have but one ruler, one Lord, and one God by whom we are judged as right or wrong. So, who rules your heart today?

Jesus, the Nom de Plume of our Prayers

Your prayers are not powerless. When you enter into prayer you are not alone, but are joined there by the Holy Spirt, and Jesus Christ. When you don’t know how to pray the Holy Spirit will pray for you, and when we pray in the name of Jesus Christ it gives Him joint authorship with us in that prayer. Suddenly, what had been a knee shaking event as we stood alone before the throne of God, has become more than just that. I ask you... are you alone before God in prayer?
