Persistent prayer

The disciple had asked Jesus to “teach us to pray” in Luke 11:1. Jesus started with a model prayer, which we call The Lord’s Prayer. It is a bit shorter than Matthew’s version and… https://oldc5.godskingdom.org/daily-weblogs/2014/05-2014/persistent-prayer/

Asking forgiveness--a clarification

Yesterday’s weblog needs clarification in view of my statement that God does not forgive apart from the sinner asking for forgiveness (i.e., repenting). I should have clarified… https://oldc5.godskingdom.org/daily-weblogs/2014/05-2014/asking-forgiveness-a-clarification/

Lead us not into temptation

Hallowed be Thy Name

Luke 11:2 says, in part, “Hallowed by Thy name.” What does this mean? Why should we pray (petition) this? Is He not already hallowed? The problem is that Abba, “our Father,” is… https://oldc5.godskingdom.org/daily-weblogs/2014/05-2014/hallowed-be-thy-name/
