If my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence of the promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken. We do not yield to the offer of sandwich meat when we can see the sizzling steak on the grill… At first lust tricks me into feeling that I would really miss out on some great satisfaction if I followed the path of purity. But then I take up the sword of the Spirit and begin to fight… And as I pray for my faith to be satisfied with God’s life and peace, the sword of the Spirit carves the sugar coating off the poison of lust… And by the grace of God, (lust’s) alluring power is broken.

A Message from our Provider:

“Luck has nothing to do with it”

Christian prayer is NOT: 1. To give God information – Matt. 6:8. 2. Telling God what to do – Rom. 11:34. 3. Asking God to engineer a situation to the end we desire. 4. Something we do to please or appease God – Jn. 19:30. 5. A meritorious performance God expects of us; a duty or obligation of obedience. 6. An exercise to make us better, stronger, or more “spiritual.” 7. For therapeutic psychological adjustment, “good feelings.” 8. Self-instruction to gain a knowledge of God’s will. 9. Soliciting more “blessings” or “benefits” from God. 10. An evasion of the problems and anxieties of contemporary existence. 11. Superstitious, mystical or magical trance. 12. A spiritual “power-tool” to employ the “power of prayer.” 13. A discipline or devotional exercise that will lead us to godliness. 14. Demanding our rights before God. 15. Persistence and shameless haranguing until we get what we want. 16. A mechanical ritual or rote formulas. 17. An external religious action, pretentious and ostentatious – Matt. 6:5, 6. 18. Verbosity of meaningless repetition – Matt. 6:7. 19. A religious activity executed “on command” – litanies, rosaries, etc. 20. Prescribed by place, time or procedure.
