Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.
Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
What greater value could you possibly have than to be delighted in and sacrificed for by the Maker of the universe.
Christians need the gospel as much as non-Christians do.
Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
