I am convinced that the people of God have not explored the boundless possibilities of prayer. We evidently believe that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, but we are often aware of the fact that very little has been accomplished by our own prayers.

It has not been possible to present a complete study of the subject of prayer revealed in the Holy Scriptures. For one to undertake such a task would be like an attempt to measure eternity by a span.

My Creed leads me to think that prayer is efficacious, and surely a day's asking God to overrule all events for good is not lost. Still there is a great feeling that when a man is praying he's doing nothing, and this feeling makes us give undue importance to work, sometimes even to the hurrying over or even to the neglect of prayer.

Do not we rest in our day too much on the arm of flesh? Cannot the same wonders be done now as of old? Do not the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth still to show Himself strong on behalf of those who put their trust in Him? Oh that God would give me more practical faith in Him! Where is now the Lord God of Elijah? He is waiting for Elijah to call on Him.

Joshua 5:12

I. PRAYER ESSENTIAL TO GOD

"Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. 14th verse: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." - Isaiah 58:9.

It's that time of the year again! Time to get out the tree, stockings and mistletoe! Don't know where to begin?

A man might then behold

At Christmas, in each hall

   Good fires to curb the cold,

And meat for great and small.

   The neighbours were friendly bidden,

And all had welcome true,

   The poor from the gates were not chidden,

When this old cap was new.

Where The Holiday We Celebrate In America Started At. . .

And, Why Those Answers May Not Be What You Think!"

Dear Christmas Season Lover,

Christmas is a time for celebration all across the United States. Families and friends gather together for a day of festive merry-making.

But, do you know where the holiday we traditionally celebrate on December 25th originated at? Think it all began with the birth of Jesus Christ? Then you had better think again!
