    We can be actors or we can be real. Ultimately all acting is hypocrisy and a demonstration that we don’t believe in God. We need to be real in spiritual disciplines of our lives.

    Piety should not be on public display; this doesn't mean that Christianity should be practiced in private.

    An old joke says, people would be equally shocked if they saw Christianity doubted or saw it practiced. Of course nowadays lots more people openly doubt Christianity than they used to, but I don’t think many more people openly practice Christianity than they used to. At least not in this ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,993 views

    Legalistic fasting is not a prayer key. It is just going hungry. Spiritual awareness that prompts us to pray may also prompt us to fast. May God make us more spiritually aware. May his spirit prompt us to pray, even to the point of forgetting to eat.

    Prayer Keys - Fasting by Mark Stepherson “But when you fast, put oil on you head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:17-18 Did you ...read more

Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is ...read more

    When God works “in us” His cleansing, purifying work, then the truth of Jesus’ solutions for “unrighteous righteousness” will become reality. We must make sure the inner spiritual control center is fully complete – pure – and then the outer control cente
