What is prayer? Why do we pray? These are questions that may come up and they are very legitimate questions. I want to address prayer in the Christian world. Prayer is talking to the Father through Jesus Christ. It is a direct communication between us and God. There are many reasons why we pray. We pray for help, guidance, wisdom, praise, worship etc. Jesus said not to pray like some do in public with vain repetitions. Prayer needs to be an intimate time with God through Jesus. We pray ... read more
Grace
The question is what is Grace? Is it some ones name or just a word to be thrown around? The answer is that no it is not a word to be thrown around and I am not talking about some ones name.

Now saying this I get very disgusted when I see humans place animals above the value of a human being. First of all God created animals by speaking and he formed the human ... read more
What are Cliques?
They are a group of people or groups of people like minded and keep others out. Maybe not intentionally but it happens. Sometimes people grow up together and are comfortable with each other.

Maybe intentional or unintentional but the damage is done. Most people in these Cliques are afraid to leave their comfort zones and reach out to others in ... read more
