When we hear the Bible taught. When we read the Bible for ourselves. How can we learn to apply it? MAKE IT SIMPLE: PICK OUT ONE TRUTH.

At times, we become overly fixated on ourselves and forget about God. We often ask for His help with various things, which is not wrong, but we tend to devote most of our prayers to these requests. We say, "God, give me this, grant me that, allow this to happen, and don't let that happen." However, we should remember that God's kingdom and will are more important than our own desires.

Fasting isn't just about giving up things; it's about getting closer to God. When we fast, we put aside basic needs like food to deepen our love for Him.

The Bible tells us to seek first God’s Kingdom - the things of God, the things God wants to build, the things God wants to grow, and the children He wants to grow…and He promises that when we do, all the things that we need will be added to us!

When we ask someone how they are doing, they usually reply with "busy". However, the truth is that the American workweek is now shorter than it has ever been before. This means that Americans have more leisure time than they have ever had before. If we are busy, it is often because we have added too much to our lives. In other words, our need to be busy is often self-imposed.

Too many people try to manipulate God so they can get what they want. “God if I do these things, and pray these prayers, and give this money, you have to give me what I want!” And this text has been twisted to serve our selfish desires instead of seeking first the Kingdom of God!

It is undeniable that we put in the effort to cultivate and refine our natural abilities, but it is equally undeniable that God is the ultimate source of those abilities.

We’ve all been created with an innate desire to know others and be known by others. But the other part is because a portion of our purpose is that we’ve been commissioned for invitations by God.
