Sometimes a failure to persist in prayer proves that we were not serious about our request in the first place. At other times God wants us to persist in prayer in order to strengthen our faith in Him. Faith would never grow if all prayers were answered immediately. Persistent prayer tends to develop deeper gratitude as well. As the joy of a baby’s birth is greater because of the months of anticipation, so is the joy of an answer to prayer after persistent praying. And as much as a generation that measures time in nanoseconds hates to admit its need for it, God crafts Christlike patience in us when He requires persistence in prayer.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is the second of a series of experiments in brewing oatmeal stouts. It
is  an  extract brew, with specialty grains being  added  using  the
standard stovetop method and removed at boil. When grains are used, they
are cracked with a rolling pin and boiled for 30 minutes before  strain-
ing. The finishing hops are added in the last 5 minutes of the boil. The
addition of grains made the oatmeal less noticeable. Color and  hop balance
were good again. Irish ale yeast could yield some  nice  results and I
think the steel cut oats need to be bumped up to 1 pound to  bring them to
the fore. Original Gravity: 1.050 Final Gravity: 1.022

A Message from our Provider:

“Do not look to your hope, but to Christ, the source of your hope. #Charles Spurgeon”

We should understand that, fundamentally, our faith is not about what we do (as important as that is), nor is it about what we think (as important as that is). Our faith is fundamentally strengthened by understanding who we are through the indwelling Christ. We are who we are because of our union with Him. Nothing else can be the integration point (the place where the promises of Scripture and our identity intersect) of true spirituality. If we make what we do (right actions) the integration point of our faith, then we become fundamentalist and Pharisaical, with the judgement of others' misbehaviors the preoccupation of our religion. If we make what we think (right doctrine) the integration point of our faith, then we become rationalistic debaters with judgement of other’ faulty doctrine the preoccupation of our religion.
