805. How to Become a Mature Christian (#9) - Rejoice Always, Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks - May 2, 2025

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 2. I will then key in on verse 20 - So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness. Friends, we should purpose in our hearts that we are going to be "good". That is, quite simply, the type of life that God wants us to live. On today's podcast I will begin by reviewing the three points I brought up on Episdode #795 - (if you did not get a chance to check it out, I invite you to do so). I will then continue our study on How to Become a Mature Christian. Today's lesson will be the 9th lesson on this topic. The point of this lesson will be a very important sign that you are beginning to mature as a Christian. It has to do with prayer. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:1. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks.2. As your prayer life begins to improve, you will begin to have ongoing conversations with God.3. The effective, frevent prayer of a righteous man avails much.Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:Proverb 2:20; Luke 5:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17; James 5:16Call to Action - Do you have an effective prayer life with God?
