The Lord’s Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

Luke 11:2-4

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Once Saved Always Saved?

 Is it true that once you are saved that you are always saved?

According to the analogy, people are on a journey. They can only go two directions. One direction is hell. The other direction is heaven. When you are born, you start out facing the direction of hell because of Adam’s sin. When you get ol...
