III. Featured Articles: The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus

9. The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus

10. Graceful Unity

We hear Jesus' repeated prayer to the Father that all believers might be one, even as the Son and the Father are one. This fervent prayer serves to remind us that unity amongst Christians is a result of grace. ...

11. The Great High-Priestly Prayer

15. That Proverbs 31 Woman…

I'm not convinced, for example, that the woman described in Proverbs 31 is one literal person. Or, if she is, that she achieved all her accomplishments during the same period of life. ...

16. A Prayer for A Stressed Out Mom

Sleep well, Momma, knowing that the work you are doing is good, and your Father is smiling on you. ...
