Here’s that thankful man again – Paul is giving thanks for the churches he is writing to in Colossae. He is the most thankful writer in all antiquity, so there’s our first challenge. Be thankful! God is good. We get to see what an apostle prays yet again at the start of this letter to […]

Eph 6:10-20

  Life is war. That’s not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of this truth.
