We definitely need more C.S. Lewis. I enjoyed your notes. I have always wondered how you spell “Cliff Notes”. Wasn’t sure if it was Cleft Notes, Cleff Notes, etc. You can tell I didn’t go to College! Are they called Cliff notes because without them you’re about to fall off a cliff??

I’ve read several Lucado books and appreciated all of them. He is light with profound twists. I actually heard him speak at a conference a few years ago. He has a very humble, non-assuming persona. I’ll download this one to my Kindle - I could use a lesson on fear right now.

Wow! I have two sons who are philosophers. Both of their postulations are quite thought provoking.
Let me throw another thought into the ring, “There really is no end for people, we will live eternally either in heaven or hell and in neither place do we end.”

Hi son
Prayer does present some enigmas, however there are some clear instructions on prayer. Here are a few as you walk through the NT
Mt. 6:5 Jesus expects believers to pray: when you pray
6:8 Jesus said our Father knows what we need but in 9 He says in this manner pray.
10 says to pray for His will to be done on earth
11 to give us our daily bread
9:38 pray the Lord of the harvest to send workers
14:23 Jesus the very Son of God prayed
26:41 He told them to watch and pray so they would not enter into temptation
John 17:9, 15, 20 Jesus prayed for believers to be protected
Romans 8:26 does say we don’t always know how we should pray, but it also says the Holy Spirit will help pray by intercession for us
II Cor. 5:20 Paul prayed for their reconciliation to God
Col. 1:9 Paul did not cease to pray for them and desire that they would be filled with the knowledge of His will.
Ephesians 6 teaches about wearing our spiritual armor, but it does not stop with just wearing the armor, for the very next Vs which is in 18 says “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit for themselves and for Paul to be able to accomplish what God had for him in Vs 19-20, this is seen also in II Thess. 3:1
I Tim. 2:1 Prayer was the first thing Paul was led to command the church to do in behaving properly in the house of God 3:14-15
I Tim 2:8 men are to pray everywhere lifting up holy hands
James 5:13-16 Prayer and confession are keys to healing, *The effective , fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

I Thess. 5:17 sums up the time factor of prayer: Pray without ceasing.
Lewis Sperry Chafer the founder of Dallas Theo. Seminary said; “It is as much decreed to be by prayer, as it is decreed to be done at all.”

But I do like my office. finally got the lights up and all the stuff off the floor (only 10 months, not bad).

Wow, Ty. I’m not sure if I’m more impressed with your blog or Dad’s response! Thanks for sharing this with us! I feel like you’ve been so much more “knowable” this last year - I’ve enjoyed the extra conversations we’ve had because you have more time. I loved raising my kids so I completely understand how you feel.
