Abiding in Christ: 50 Days of Prayer and Fasting, from Easter to Pentecost

By Anonymous
A prayer for our fellowship based on Ephesians 4. 

     Father, we pray that we would walk in a manner worthy of our calling, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Help us to be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Remind us often that there is one body and one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 
     Father, may we receive Christ’s gifts given to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. 
     Lord, by the power of your Spirit in us, help us to speak the truth in love, to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Amen. 

May 13—If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. Pray for the Word of God to remain in us, having its transforming effect on our lives. 1 John 2:24, Isaiah 55:10-11

May 14—Pray for growth in the C12 Twin Cities ministry. They hope to have two CEO groups by the end of 2018, with a third group ready to form. May these groups advance the Kingdom of God.

May 15—Pray for Pastor Charlie's visit to Albania to visit the Andersons in May, that he would have safe travels and God would be in the details of the time together.

May 16—We praise you, Lord Jesus, that you humbled yourself, taking on flesh to redeem us.

May 17—Pray for Prime Minister, Edi Rama, to lead Albania with wisdom and equity and to become a believer himself.

May 18—Father, help us to see that your pruning work in our lives is an act of grace for our good and our growth.

May 19—Pray for those in our body struggling with any type of sexual sin. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

May 20—But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to abide in Christ. 1 John 2:27

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
