How we pray and what we pray for has a massive impact on our lives. So often we pray for what we want. Maybe we want a new job. So we pray and pray “Please Please Please Lord, let me get this new position at work.” We pray fervently for what we want. We think [...]

If you know me at all, you are probably aware of my tendency to talk. Sometimes I use this for good, but I often get myself into trouble. The Bible tells us that the tongue will cause us problems. James tells us that the tongue defileth the whole body! This is a scary prospect for [...]
