Another article on the church, and yet another concerned comment about poorly-attended prayer meetings.
It’s a “head-scratcher”, we’re told.
Scratch no more, my good friends. It’s
not that tough from where I sit.
I’m not sure that
there are all that many Christians who really believe their church can succeed
without prayer. Rather, I think the message many Christians are sending when
they beat feet in the other direction at prayer meeting time might just be that
they’re not convinced their church needs or wants THEIR prayers, or that their
attendance on any given week will make the slightest bit of difference either
to the Lord or to their fellow believers.
Much of the time I
suspect they’re right.
