The influence of false teachers and infiltration of “special knowledge” into the church is still a problem for the church today.

When we turn to God in faith as we offer up our lament, we seek to be reoriented to the reality of redemption in and through Christ Jesus.

Humble dependence on God and mourning over our sinful and broken world leads to true flourishing and wholeness in God's kingdom.

In the end, our aim in prayer should be to get more of God rather than getting more stuff from God, to seek God’s face instead of his hands.
