Bible Study - Praying In The Spirit
by John Edmiston

I don't tell you the answers. You actually have to read the Bible
and work them out under God's gracious guidance. (grin)
May the Lord richly bless you as you study His Word!

Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord.
