Martin Luther, on "Praying in Faith"
Some reflections from Devotional Classics...
The only thing I didn't agree with was his statement that "we entreat God by his Son, his saints, his promises, his name." Not by his saints! Yes, the blood of Jesus allows us to "approach the throne of grace with confidence" (Hebrews 4:14-16), and his promises provide a foundation for us to know what his ( Read more... ) -
Knowing God
It's been awhile since I've updated! This week at Prairie we just finished our "Global Connections Conference". It was an encouraging week.

Matthew 16:24-26 "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?

I love Mr. Flewelling. A lot of what he says challenges me, and he genuinely cares about our spiritual, physical, and emotional welfare. But ( Read more... ) -
A Step Back
I haven't posted in a while because I couldn't choose what to post on. There's been a lot going on lately...
The biggest thing I suppose is surrender, trust, dreams...(the biggest things)
You'd think at college a person would be "living in the moment". I'm trying to. Because I feel pretty strongly that I know what God's called me to, part of me just ( Read more... ) -
