Instructions on prayer

By:Gabriela Yareliz  “Pray and believe—God does not say, Ask once, and you shall receive. He bids us ask. Unwearyingly persist in prayer. The persistent asking brings the petitioner into a more earnest attitude, and gives him an increased desire to receive the things for which he asks. Christ said to Martha at the grave ofContinue reading “Instructions on prayer”

Overcome for today

By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share this thought from my devotional today. “The truth of God received into the heart is able to make you wise unto salvation.

Athletic

By: Gabriela Yareliz Olympics are gone and out. I love the Olympics.

God, the Creator of the universe, becoming a man, suffering worse than any person suffered, suffering an injustice worse than any of us can suffer? Incredible! I forgot that’s what ChristiansContinue reading “Shadow Men”

M. Gandhi

By: Gabriela Yareliz From M. Gandhi’s autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth I am enjoying his book thus far. There are things I don’t agree with; things I do… I like how honest he is about his experience. I find him at times humbling, and at others completely stubborn and set in hisContinue reading “M. Gandhi”

Going deeper

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the same mistakes over and over again, or the storms keep ripping(figuratively, of course)  the limbs off of the trees and all that surrounds us. Sometimes, we worry, and we seek so many things at the same time. It can be overwhelming. Today, I heard Pastor Tony Evans sayContinue reading “Going deeper”
