OUR PURPOSE FOR LIFE

    In the Bible, God urges believers to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). But this often leads to a common struggle for the modern Christian: If God is sovereign and oversees all of human history, what is the purpose of prayer? If He already knows what we need before we ask (Matthew 6:8), why bother asking at all? Understanding the true significance of prayer is essential to unlocking a deeper, more peaceful walk with Christ. It is not about changing God’s mind, but about God changing us.

When we see prayer as a means of control, we become anxious and agitated when we don't see immediate results. We begin to treat God like a "cosmic vending machine" where the right prayer should yield the desired product. However, biblical prayer is first and foremost a dialogue . If you co...

Study the Word "You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus."  (2 Timothy 3:15) Through the bible, we gain wisdom by viewing life through God...

ADDICTION As long as we live on earth, there will always be an attraction to the things of this word. Due to the fact that we live in a corrupt world that despises godliness, we must remain vigilant and persistent in our prayers for all believers everywhere. As believers we are called to pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion so as not to fall into temptation as a result of our sinful nature. "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." Ephesians 6:18 Believers may battle with a variety of addictions, including those to food, social media, drugs, alcohol, pornography, and sex, to name a few. Through the power of his spirit, Christ has freed us from the yoke of our materialistic cravings. Here are a few scriptures that can help us fight addiction. 1 Corinthians 6:12 "You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed t...
