Matthew 6:9-15

Godly Praying (Part 2)

by Josh Head

“It is a prayer that teaches us to pray. It is a foundation of the praying life: its introduction and its continuing basis. It is an enduring framework for all praying. You only move beyond it provided you stay within it.” - Dallas Willard

"The gospel powerfully reorients our view of relational conflict. No offense against us will ever be as serious as our offenses against God. If God has forgiven our great sins, how can we not extend mercy to those who have sinned against us?" - Bob Kauflin

 

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” - Brennan Manning

 

“If I really wanted to know what you believe about the gospel I wouldn’t need to hear a single word. I just would have to watch how you treat those who have mistreated you.”

- Brian Loritts

 

C. Our Future - Deliver Us
