PRAYER CAN HEAL YOUR HEART – by Carrie

Share(This is a story of one of the online friends of Mama Mary… who was kind enough to write her experience and share it with of us)

My best friend and I had had a major falling out.

BE A BLESSING

ShareWe cannot be blessed without first being a blessing. We are to keep God first in our lives, then people second, and then ourselves last. Only in this order can we be a blessing and be blessed ourselves.
When Jesus said, “Ask the Father anything in My name and He will give it to you” (John [...]

Why should we tolerate the need for God?
What troubles us today are a glut of commercialized adventures into pseudo-religiosity, the kind that purports a [...]
