Prayer is defined as essential to a Spirit-controlled life and vital for communication with God. Believers are commanded to be devoted to prayer, praying without ceasing and unceasingly bringing everything before the Lord. Jesus Christ exemplified prayer by making it a frequent priority, praying specifically, and always in submission to God's will. God answers prayer with "Yes," "No," or "in greater measure". Answers are contingent on asking according to God's will, in faith, and in obedience. Conversely, receiving answers is hindered by unconfessed sin, doubt, and selfish motives, or when God's glory is better revealed through enduring a trial.

Using Scripture and Reformed thinking to navigate these waterways in a Biblically sound way. Axe to the Root with Bojidar Marinov | Reconstructionist Radio Reformed Network Reconstructionist Radio | Reformed Christian Podcast In theory, all of us know our orthodoxy. We know about the Trinity, about our redemption. We can speak about our solas, and we know our TULIP. But then, when most of us go out in the world and meet reality, we still view it and assess it through pagan eyes. That’s because our modern theology has become abstract, limited to the world of our personal faith, and divorced from God’s reality. Bojidar Marinov’s Axe to the Root Podcast will help you turn your abstract theology into a relevant, applied theology, by thinking covenantally about every area of life, and about every practical issue in today’s world. This is a production of Recon Radio. My Path to Atheism by Annie Besant (1847 - 1933) LibriVox My Path to Atheism is a remarkable document in many ways, not least that it was written by a woman in Victorian England, not the most open free-thinking of societies, especially for women at that time. It needed a remarkable woman to write such a revolutionary and to 19th century minds, heretical document in a society where the Church had such a stronghold. Besant herself was originally married to a clergyman, but her increasingly anti-religious views and writings led to a legal separation. She went on to become a member of the National Secular Society and thence to co-edit the National Reformer, which put forth ideas on revolutionary ideas at the time such as trades unions, national education, birth control and so on. In 1877 Besant published this book 'My Path to Atheism' which was compiled from a series of lectures in which she surgically dissects the basic tenets of Christianity. As one reads the chapters, one can follow the evolution of her ideas from Theism to Atheism, ending up Reformed Forum Reformed Forum Reformed Forum supports the church in presenting every person mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28) by providing Reformed theological resources to pastors, scholars, and anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of Scripture and the theology that faithfully summarizes its teachings.
