It’s strange how one word from Paul’s letters can open a door to a whole new dimension of prayer — “supplication.” When you dive into Paul’s epistles, especially from the grace perspective that rightly divides the Word, supplication isn’t just a fancy theological term tucked away for pastors and seminary students. It’s raw, it’s real, … Read more
