Japanese Guitar Phenomenon). In keeping with that trend watch this video of a cute little girl singing the Lord’s Prayer. I know, tough song for a kid to sing, huh?

As Christians we are going to fall from time to time.  You know what I mean…fallen to sin!  We find every person well known to not very well known to fall to sin at some point in their lives.  Yes, we sin everyday if we are honest about it, but the focus here is a sin that goes unconfessed for a while, that has created great stress within you and turmoil for other people.

The Lord’s Prayer is our pledge of allegiance to God and our assurance of God’s allegiance to us. The prayer is part of my morning, noon and evening meditations.  I also recite the prayer at other times in the day, including thee times while I shower (yes, I do shower).  I have found the prayer

Three Things May 12th, 2008 Evangelical Outpost has a regular feature called “Thirty-Three Things”. I’m not there yet. I hope to be consistent with three things for now. (1) I’ve been hearing and reading a lot lately about how when Jesus said “on earth as it is in Heaven” he wasn’t just talking
