Prayer

I love Max Lucado. He always has so much to say that reminds me of God's love and what God requires of me. Thanks for posting this. It's a great reminder for me. I'm not very good at praying out loud, in fact, I don't like praying in front of others. I feel fake about it. But when I'm alone with God I feel genuine. THe only problem is I don't pray too often. I forget to pray in the morning and in the night and during the day. When I remember to pray my thoughts often trail off to other places. I guess I'll just have to make more of an effort and pray that God will help me in my prayer efforts and make my prayers genuine.

The Infallible Word of God

One of my Bible teachers once said that the Bible is inspired by God, but that God merely told the writers what to write about and the writers put it into their own words and related it to a certain audience. I like to think that God was the one who wrote the Bible in a way that related it to its audience. Is not God able to do wonderful things? Is not God all knowing? Does not God know how to relate to His own people? The word of God is God-breathed. I believe He wrote every word of it.
