Flashback: It is the whole church, not just the best singers, who are to mutually encourage one another through the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. And to do that, they must be heard! Their voices must not be drowned out by instruments, but rise above them.

Christ is the all-sufficient Vine. If you are a branch in that Vine, in him you have all you need to face the situation he has given you.
Abide in him.

@AgainstAtheismX Of course the whole Bible, over and over.

Besides that, Mere Christianity,
Pilgrim’s Progress, and Knowing God.

The world does not hate vague spirituality. It hates the exclusive claims of Christ.

If the Lord Jesus Christ can put up with you, you ought to be able to put up with anybody.

It baffles me that we can board a plane and place our lives in the hands of a pilot we’ve never met, or step into an Uber with a complete stranger behind the wheel, yet we often struggle to trust the God who is perfectly good, all-knowing, and completely in control.

Why you should pray OVER your family 👇

Over the last year or so, my son has had a stretch of “bad dreams” and general fear of being alone in his room (I’ve written about this here).

It was tough at times. Nights of waking up at 3am and jumping in our bed, asking to sleep with the dog etc.

Every time he was feeling scared (minus a few times in the middle of the night when I did not model patience), I would pray over him. I put my hand on his head and audibly call on the name of Jesus to draw near to us, drive out scary thoughts and vanquish any spiritual attacks in our family.

It honestly didn’t seem to help that much at first. The routine stayed more or less the same for a while. I just kept praying over him.

Then, something changed. I started noticing that every night at bedtime, before he had vocalized any fear, he started asking ME: “Daddy, will you pray over me?”

Now, night after night, he makes this request before he goes to sleep. He just asked me a few minutes ago.

And here’s the thing: he’s sleeping great. Not only do I think God answered our prayers, but I believe his subconscious mind is continuing to learn there is only one place to turn when we are overwhelmed by fear.

He also has this verse memorized:

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Men, pray over your family. Other than the power of this type of prayer, you also welcome them into WITNESSING God’s answered prayers when they actually happen. They heard the prayer come out of your mouth and they get to see God’s faithfulness vs if you pray only privately for them.

*Disclaimer: Prior to a couple of years ago, I never prayed OVER my family. I prayed for them - but never over them. If I can gently encourage you to start praying over your wife and kids. Put your hand on them and let them hear your heart’s message for them to the Father. It might feel weird at first - but man, i promise you it’s a powerful tool in your tool belt as a dad. Keep fighting for your family, dads 🤝

@5SolasMissy @jacelala It’s actually the other way around: without faith your traditions are shallow.
