And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

These guys are great at waving their Bibles around, and playing endlessly with their calculators.
Camping is reported on the BBC website here as saying: "I'm not a genius, and I pray all the time for wisdom". What a shame he didn't wisely turn to Mark 13 v 32 and discover that he was claiming knowledge that even the angels and the Lord Jesus are not party to.
How can we respond to this in conversations with others?... continue reading
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious. (Isaih 11 v 10)
King Jesus will gather His people from all ends of the earth. What an incredible picture of the future for God's people. And the future has already begun. Jesus already rules over His church — Christians everywhere. But His reign isn't total yet. One day, Jesus will return to rule over all creation. His people will live with Him in perfection.
