Out of Step With the Bible

What is both surprising and depressing is the sheer prayerlessness that characterizes so much of the Western church. It is surprising, because it is out of step with the Bible that portrays what Christian living should be; it is depressing, because it frequently coexists with abounding Christian activity that somehow seems hollow, frivolous, and superficial.

—Alexander Strauch (Leading With Love)

[TBC: Seems to be a latter-day reflection of our Lord’s reprimanding the church at Ephesus (Revelation:2:4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
See All...).]
