On Religion: When you pray, pray like Jesus
By Dane Davis
For the Victorville Daily Press
“When you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private.” Matthew 6:6
When you were a child, you may have been taught a short prayer. It might have been this one: “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.”
That’s a pretty scary prayer for kids, don’t you think? It could make kids want to sleep with one eye open: “Oh, no! If I fall asleep I’m gonna die!”

True Gospel with
TECHNOLOGY is a double-edged sword.
While it is good for transforming people’s lives, it is equally bad when unmanaged properly.
I have witnessed sorry situations whereby elderly men and women wallow in strenuous household chores while their teenage girls and boys are addicted to television or social media.
Parents have largely ignored or neglected their Jehovah-given responsibilities of teaching their children requisite manners.
The word of Jehovah is clear on this, as confirmed on
Proverbs 22:6 of the
English Standard Version.
It reads,
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
