The Lord's Prayer - Potpourri

The Lord's Prayer
How do you think its best to teach children to pray?  Should they be taught to memorize prayers?  Or do you not interfere at all and let them pray their own prayers? I don't think it's either/or, but better to watch you because they see and hear everything you do.  What would be more powerful than the parents, especially dad, on his knees praying to God? 

The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth - Vignette

The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth
Years ago people who went to court put their hand on the Bible and swore, "...to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God".  As time has progressed no all courts make people swear to God on God's Word.

Worship Service.  Is It Really Worship Service?

What happened to hymn singing?  Hymn singing speaks of Him.  Good Hymn/Him music has great theology.  You may love what is called contemporary music, but I ask that you listen to my heart. We cannot live on feelings. We live on truth.  Contemporary music gives a big dose of adrenaline but it doesn’t last.
