RE-IMAGINING OUR ATTITUDE

We’re in a pandemic! What is God waiting for? So many in the world have said, "no," to Him--and He Respects that. God isn't causing Covid-19. But He's not Intervening. He is Waiting on the sidelines--to be invited back in: to be called by His Creations. We Creatures of His have free will: the right to say "yes" or "no" to God. And we humans have been sending Him a lot of negativity in recent decades. So, how's that working out for us?See More

A logical look at praying

Many think being on one’s knees is the way to pray. But knee pain can set in quickly. Some set a clock for a certain time of daily prayer. When time is up, prayer concludes. A walk with God is best because the distance of the walk lengthens the conversation. A person gets more time to ask questions. He Gets more time to Give and Repeat Answers. God also provides receptacles along the path you walk with Him where you can discard those "prayers(?)" that are not in accordance with His Will.See More

Saying "yes" or "no" to God

Spoken of frequently in Christianity is a personal relationship with Christ. One either has that or does not. God seeks all of the world (John 12:47). God has Given us free will. Free will is nothing more and nothing less than having the right to say, “no,” to God. All human sin is committed after one says, “no,” to God. But Grace allows that same sinner to say, “yes,” to God at other decision points in their life. Clearly, whether God Exists has a “yes” or “no” answer. Perhaps what needs…See More

Time Off

Christians should understand that, while we are always On Call, we are not On Duty 24/7/365.God Knows we're in for the long run. But He also Knows that humans cannot run as fast or as long as He Can. He told us to take a rest (e.g. Exodus 20:8)So, at those times when you may think you are not doing the Lord's Work, consider that it may just be a "sabbathitcal." See More

CALENDAR YEAR END PRAYER

Recognizing, to be kind, the diversity in our world today, I have asked HELP in writing this prayer.To those of you of the Christian faith:May your holiday shopping time be painless;May your commemoration of the Lord’s arrival on earth be a blessing and pagan-less.To those who believe in God, while following other traditions:May you find contentment and wonder in what you hold close to your heart;May the comfort and peace I have grown to love over the years be yours.To those who do not believe…See More

Will God Bless America One More Time?

“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”— Proverbs 18:2. Too bad the USA has this separation of church and state when it comes to political discussions. This separation, as pertains to Proverbs 18:2, has turned us into fools. Since we now only express our opinions and eschew understanding of others, we have fertilized the extreme right and the extreme left. The goal of the extreme right has always been to eviscerate the left. The goal of the extreme…See More

ARE WE ORIGINATORS OR TRANSCRIBERS?

After reading a June 10, 2019 post reply from Dave Nickerson, I’m trying to discern if these Web sites are being taken as advertising. Dave’s reply was to “ALERT ~ Member: ‘just not sure how it works’" posted on Pray.Network by Phil Miglioratti on June 10, 2019 at 2:29 pm in "What's up?"Dave was concerned that “…one could conclude that Pray.Network is about being recognized as an author or thinker about praying, but not about the ‘work’ of prayer.”When it comes to theological, especially…See More

My Primary #ReimaginePRAYER Focus: In my Closet

This Scripture Drives My #Reimagine Journey: Romans 14

Ezekiel 2:1-3:11

How To Begin a Reimagine Journey [My Tweet-Sized (280 characters) suggestion]: Think outside of the bricks and mortar box. The Universal church has no walls, no congregational separations.

The simple, clear message of Christ is the Giving of, and the receiving of, Grace. Use all He has placed in your trust, including human logic, to share, and not scare, people with this Good News.

WHY? is it important for the Church to #ReimaginePRAYER?: Because prayer is dialog--questions and answers.

Because prayer is for asking. Since he supplies all our needs and even some of our desires that are consistent with His Will, as often as humanly possible, our prayers should be for assignments that advance His Purpose.

How did you discover Pray.Network?: HI, AGAIN, PHIL
