Pray for us Why does God ask us to pray? Doesn’t God already know what we need? Why would a giant of faith like Apostle Paul ask people to pray for him and his companions? Do you need prayers for you and are you praying for others? God loves to be worshiped and He loves to hear from His children. This is my definition of prayer – It is worship and communion with God. It is amazing what categories our prayers will fall under when they are subjected to analysis. I believe most of our prayers would fall under the subsistence living or prayers for provision and protection heading. Have you noticed what Apostle Paul asks for when he says pray for me or us? In our study today, He makes such request of the Thessalonians. Let’s see. “Brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. 2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith” vs.3:1-2.

God Chose You On first read, the above statement may not register with you the impact and consequences of such pronouncement. Maybe if you were with me at the community gym when I had a chat with a Hindu friend, you would better appreciate that “God chose you”. My Hindu friend answered my questions and said, “Look, I was already programmed and brainwashed to believe in the many thousands of gods just because I was born Hindu”.

My reaction was amazement and a feeling of sorry for him and for millions of Hindus who believe the lie. At the same time I was filled with thanksgiving and joy to God who has chosen me to know him - the true and only God. Being chosen is not

The Lawless One or Antichrist (part 2) What is going on in the world? There are wars, fights, rebellions, revolutions, demonstrations, high unemployment, financial failures, earthquakes and etc! Is the world coming to an end? Yes it is ending soon but we don’t know the exact date. The Arab countries are crying out for freedom and we have seen the toppling of governments in Tunisia, Egypt and soon Libya. Make no mistakes, their cry for freedom is not found in democracy because it has not freed America. True freedom is only found in believing in Christ as savior. So let’s pray for the Arab nations that these people will seek and find Christ. “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed”. In the background of current world events, we continue our study of the End times and the “Lawless one” or antichrist in Chapter 2 of 2nd Thessalonians. Yes, President Obama is not the antichrist but that does not mean he or any past or present world leader is not being used to propagate antichri
