The more I read the Christmas story the more I realize it was an era of change; from Heaven itself to the very soul of man.

Everything Jesus did He did for us!!!!

How surprising that this profound message of the birth of the Messiah, was trusted the one of the lower classes in society, shepherds.  God wasn't about to let the birth of His Son go unheralded by some missed earthly tradition.

Colossians 2:8-10: 8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. 

"Because as He is, so are we in this world."  (1 John 4:17)  

It's one thing to know the different types of prayers, but it's another thing to have answered prayer.

Romans 5:12: "Here is how it works: It was through one individual that sin entered the world and through sin, death; and in this way death passed through to the whole human race, in as much as everyone sinned."
 Romans 5:15: "But there is a great difference between Adams sin and God's gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God's wonderful Grace and His gift of forgiveness to many through this other Man, Jesus Christ."

I looked for a man to stand in the gap!

Unlike a general prayer, the prayer of petition or supplication is a prayer in which you are very specific about what You desire. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, it is okay to petition God for something specific, as long as you have a submissive heart that says, "Not my will Lord but Yours be done."

If we are saved by Grace through faith, what purpose then does the Law serve?

Things we can do in our prayer life to keep it from being boring.
