  • God’s Infinity and My Praying

    During tomorrow night’s Bible study on prayer I’ll be walking through the doctrine of God and drawing some applications for prayer. When I considered God’s attribute of infinity – that he is not limited by time or space – I was struck by the implications of this for prayer. I pray to a God who Read more
