God interfered with the laws of nature, either suspending or setting them aside for a season, and answered the prayer of this praying servant of His. And the answer to prayer among those heathen people convinced them that a supernatural power was at work among them. In fact so true was this that they seemed to think a supernatural being had come among them.

Answered prayers are sometimes the most convincing and faith-creating forces. Unanswered prayers chill the atmosphere and freeze the soil of faith. If Christians knew how to pray so as to have answers to their prayers, evident, immediate, and demonstrative answers from God, faith would be more widely diffused, would become more general, would be more profound, and would be a much more mighty force in the world.

Spirituality – Compassion for the “Lottery Winners”

I used to play lottery quite regularly but not anymore. At one point I was even scared that one day I might actually end up hitting the jackpot! I suddenly realized that I would then lose much of what precious friends and family I have right now while “winning” a lot of new toys and expensive diversions, plus the unending supercilious condescension of some filthy rich strangers.

Spirituality — “Praising” as an Act of Honoring the World

Most people think they’d love to be praised but I suspect sometimes they don’t know exactly how to handle it. Why? Because right after that initial warm feeling of satisfaction, doubt rears its ugly head: “Was that person sincere in his praise? How do I know he really meant what he is saying? Or is there a secret agenda behind all that sugar and spice?”

Spirituality — “Doing Nothing” as an Act of Compassion

There are infinite acts of compassion in this world. Some are well advertised, like “feeding the hungry” or “helping the sick.” Yet there are many others that are not that well advertised. I’m recognizing these other acts as I get older and have the time to stop and look back at my own life and see which acts led to what and what total good came out of it as a result.

Abiding in Christ

If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ (RO 8:9). The redeemed receive their spiritual strength from him. They must abide in him and live according to his principles. We are commanded to abide with Christ in John 15:4. It is rendered “Abide” in the King James and the NIV translates the Greek as “Remain.” Remaining in him is crucial to our salvation. The Contemporary English Version uses the statement, “Stay joined to me.”
