The Lord's prayer is recorded twice in the New Testament. The passage most commonly memorized is Matthew 6:9-13, often in the King James Version. The version in Luke 11:2-4 is shorter.
The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer, but the special rule of direction is that prayer, which Christ taught His disciples, commonly called the Lord's Prayer....
Prayer is an offering up of our desires to God, for things agreeable to His will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins and thankful acknowledgment of His mercies. (1 John 5:14; 1 John 1:9; Philippians 4:6; Psalm 10:17; 145:19; John 14:13-14)
We should pray to the true God only, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not to idols, saints, or anything God has created (Psalm 65:2; 1 John...
By everlasting life, we mean a new existence, in which we are united with all the people of God, in the joy of fully knowing and loving God and each other.
God gives eternal life to me and all believers in Christ.
I haven't been working on my blog much over the past year due to health reasons. I'm planning on resuming the series What are Catechisms?, but I don't expect to post regularly. The Catechisms series was originally intended to be something short while I was researching my next topic, but it turned into a much more time-consuming project than I had expected.

Since the beginning of the year, I haven't been able to spend the time I would like working on posts for BibleQuestions.info. I have had shorter amounts of time to work on the blog, so I decided to review prayer apps. I have been using the app Echo Prayer, and I created some public prayer and devotion feeds. Some of the feeds are Breath Prayers, which are...
We are to believe, that at the last day there shall be a general resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust: when they that are then found alive shall in a moment be changed; and the selfsame bodies of the dead which were laid in the grave, being then again united to their souls forever, shall be raised up by the power of Christ. The bodies of the just, by the Spirit of Christ, and...
Death being threatened as the wages of sin, it is appointed unto all men once to die; for that all have sinned.
The righteous shall be delivered from death itself at the last day, and even in death are delivered from the sting and curse of it; so that, although they die, yet it is out of...
The holy Christian church is the communion of saints, the total number of those who believe in Christ. All believers in Christ, but only believers, are members of the church (invisible church) (Ephesians 2:19-22; John 10:16; Romans 8:9).
God offers the forgiveness of sins only in the Gospel, the good news that we are freed from the guilt, the punishment, and the power of sin, and are saved eternally because of Christ's keeping the Law and His suffering and death for us (John 3:16; Romans 1:16; Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:13; Colossians 1:13-14).
