Matthew 17: 21 “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Is fasting required or recommended?Matt 6: 16-18 "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting.

Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust of the future. It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today, and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow. It is unawareness of the presence of beauty, unconcern for the needs of our fellowman, and unbelief in the promises of old. It is impatience with time,

In giving, many go back to the Old Testament law of the tithe, the giving of ten percent unto the Lord. This is a good principle for giving, and perhaps a broad benchmark, yet the New Testament nowhere specifically commands tithing. The New Testament speaks with great clarity on the principles of giving. It teaches us that giving should be regular, planned, proportional, and private.(1

Scripture is not definitive when it comes to faith and income. Deuteronomy commands believers to "remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth", and the rest of the Old Testament is dotted with celebrations of God's bestowal of the good life. On at least one, occasion Jesus holds up well informed business practice (investing rather than saving) as a metaphor for

The precedent on an issue is the collective body of judicially announced principles that a court should consider when interpreting the law. When a precedent establishes an important legal principle, or represents new or changed law on a particular issue, that precedent is often known as a landmark decision. Precedent is central to legal analysis and rulings in common law countries like the United

The word “accountable” is defined in Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary as, “subject to giving an account; answerable.” In this context, Webster’s Dictionary defines, “account” as, “to furnish a justifying explanation.” Taken literally, the application of this definition to a believer’s life will require them to furnish justification for their lives and actions to another mortal human being.

My meditation this week focused on how our Lord suffered alone after the apostles had fallen asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane.

John MacArthur wrote, “If you want to know how user-friendly a church has become, the emphasis, or de-emphasis, on biblical preaching is the yardstick. A church that buys into the new paradigm sidelines provocative and convicting sermons for music, skits, or videos– less confrontational mediums for conveying the message. Even when there is a sermon, it is frequently psychological and motivational

In other words, if you invested $5,000 today, let it sit there, and earned a 10% return, you’d have $10,000 in about 7
