Do you ever wonder how to get closer to God? Or to be able to pray without ceasing? I believe it starts with a thankful heart. When we thank God throughout our day, not only does it help us pray more often, but it also provides a solid foundation of many other prayers.

In Philippians 3, Paul shares his history as a religious leader who knew the law and followed it as well as anyone, but he goes on to confess that he did not know the truth of who Jesus was until Jesus grabbed his heart.

Earlier this year I subscribed to a daily devotional that would be emailed to me each morning. This has been a true delight and I want to share one of the excerpts ​called, "The Best Kitchen" which is taken from a book called "Shouts of Joy".

In my past life I worked for a couple of different newspapers. I spent some time interning with the regional newspaper during college, then spent the first few years after college working for a small newspaper in one of the local towns, working mainly with sports but some news as well. One thing that always stood out to me working at the newspaper is the power words can have.

​We are continuing our study on the Book of Acts. Acts 1:3 says, “After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of 40 days and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God.” How do we know that this is true? How do we know that Jesus actually walked on earth, died, arose from the dead and then walked the earth for 40 some days?

Every Thursday morning at 8:04 (CT) we get together here at Pizza Ranch Corporate for prayer and devotions. This week we started a journey through the Book of Acts. Acts 1:1​ says, “ In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach.”
