The Model Prayer (4)

When we pray, we acknowledge the that we are in the presence of God. We enter our closet and kneel before the Creator of Heaven and earth. However, we do not arise and leave God in the closet. Our prayers should compel us to remember that we live before the living God who sees in secret. He sees us in the closet of prayer, in the dark of night, in the very recesses of our hearts.

How to Be Holy? (1 Peter 2:1-25)

It's one thing to say, "be holy," and another thing to do it. Peter does not leave us without some practical instruction on the matter in the second chapter. Let's look at four things Peter commends as being conducive to living a holy life for God.

The Reward of Holiness (1 Peter 1:3-9)

In the midst of the difficulties that arise, the suffering and the hardships which being a citizen of the kingdom of Heaven may cause, we sometimes ask ourselves: "Is it worth it?" I imagine that saints of the first century were challenged in this manner. Let's explore Peter's answer to that question.

Why Be Holy? (1 Peter 1:13-25)

In this text Peter presents five reasons why the believer should maintain holiness in the midst of suffering. The fact that without holiness we cannot see God demands that we continue to be holy whatever the cost. The fact that we will appear in judgment before God leads us to strive to be holy. We want to be remain holy because of the exorbitant price that was paid in order to obtain our holiness. We want to remain holy because otherwise there is no hope at all. Finally, we want to be found holy because we made a commitment to do so.  

03_The Model Prayer

Prayer can seem like such a small thing.Jesus said when you pray enter into your closet So it's just me in my closet praying to God, but no, it's not just me. It's me and it's you, and it's the entire universe because we invoke the name of God who is in heaven.
So, prayer is indeed a big thing. We need to realize when we pray, we are invoking the name of the Creator of heaven and earth. We are invoking the great God of all mankind.
 

15_The Fifteen Periods of Bible History (Patriarchal Period Part 8)

The Bible can be divided into 15 periods of Bible History. Recognizing these divisions is helpful for organizing the Bible chronologically in the mind and relating the various books to one another. The third of these 15 Periods is called the Patriarchal Period, or the Period of the Fathers of Israel. This period extends from the call of Abraham to leave Ur of the Chaldees to the Death of Joseph (Genesis 11:31-50:26).
