“ The grace of God cannot be quarantined to individuals. ”
For the glory of God, the good of others, and the satisfaction of our souls, the aim of the Christian life is our coming to share in…Christlikeness or godliness—which is ‘holiness’ rightly understood.
~ David Mathis
Prayer doesn’t begin with our needs, but with his bounty.
It shouldn’t surprise us…to find that prayer is not finally about getting things from God, but getting God.
He is holy, and so we worship (adoration). He is merciful, and so we repent (confession). He is gracious, and so we express appreciation (thanksgiving). He is loving and caring, and so we petition him for ourselves, our family, our friends, and our world (supplication).
