Prayer Journey—Love of Christ

What was it like Lord Jesus to walk with you; to talk with you in person; to be hugged by you; to see the joy on your face when you see an old friend? What was it like to be your disciple—to directly hear your words of instruction? Some days I long for that, and […]

Two Sides of a Prayer

When we humbly approach the Lord in prayer, we bare our heart and acknowledge we are helpless without Him. Submitting to God’s will shows we trust his wisdom.

Remembering Broken Bread

His words, his mannerisms. They reminded them of the friend they lost. His brutal death was still fresh in their minds.
