Utilizing God’s Word in our prayers is like laying down kindling to help start a fire in our own hearts. If we seek to write words of lasting substance, we must be people of prayer who are also led by the Holy Spirit.

If you desire to grow as a disciple, follow Jesus’ five priorities, and you can't go wrong! The questions after each day's entry are for your reflection, journaling, or personal retreat.

Culture influences how we live. However, scripture shows that God moves beyond cultural boundaries. From Abraham leaving his people to Paul reaching the Gentiles, God’s presence transcends human divisions. Jesus ultimately redefines culture through the lens of the Kingdom of God. Therefore, culture must remain subject to God’s Word, the work of Christ on the cross, and the ongoing spread of the Gospel. To truly hear God, we must be willing to let Him challenge and reshape what we consider our “way of life”. CrossCultured: Making the Cross the Core of the Culture we build!
