I have included (below) a quotation regarding Karl Barth. Since he has been thoroughly condemned as a raving liberal here on TT, I thought it only fair to give him reprieve from time to time. Even a cursory reading of his works presents us with a man who controlled by the biblical message

Sorry. It is the last paragraph. A "liberal" used to be someone who basically saw natural explanations for the conceptualization of "God," for the recorded or claimed miracles and so on. Barth very much a believer. His God was real, His Christ died for the sins of the world, his miracles offered

Good thoughts, Terry. I also think there are times to be like Jacob, and wrestle with God until we receive His blessing. I think maybe that characteristic of Jacob was one reason that God liked the ornery rascal. Funny thing about the prayer of Jabez book. The first time I ever remember

We are to TO be repetitious and to not give up! We are cautioned not to pray with vain repetition, to be seen, or to be legalistic. Prayers from the heart are never vain repetition, which even the Lords Prayer can be if it is approached from a formulaic attitude. And asking God for things
