Day of Prayer for Maranatha

This past summer, the students, staff, and faculty at Maranatha Baptist Bible College underwent a difficult transition with the resignation of their president. Tonight, the students begin their year with a revival meeting led by Evangelist Will Galkin. I would like to encourage SI readers to spend time praying for the Maranatha family today.

To the Maranatha family, I prayed this prayer for myself and for you today. I trust that the grace of the cross of Christ will be your focus.

Making Disciples (Part 1 of 2)

Note: This two-part article is a chapter from the book Teach As He Taught by Robert Delnay. Published by Moody Press in 1987, the chapter is reprinted by permission.

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
—Luke 14:33

The goal of our teaching is to make disciples. To make disciples we must make demands. A veteran missionary was explaining his success in planting several churches: “We have not been afraid to make demands on our converts.” Nor was Jesus.

Some of you may remember the letter from Capt. Steve Davies that appeared here a few days ago. He is on his second tour in Iraq. He wants to let you know how your prayers for him have been answered in very specific ways. Great Read! You can reach Steve at: steven.c.davies@us.army.mil.

A Prayer of Repentance

Body

“We confess that we are not willing to pay the high cost of discipleship. We try to be as worldly as we think we can get away with. We prefer to squeeze our faith in around the edges of life, rather than to let you stand at the center to control everything we are and have.”
This prayer penned by Phil Ryken is trully must-reading…and must-praying.
