Daniel Chapter 9 – Part 1: The First Resort

Jun

There’s an art that the church in America has lost.  We have churches across the country that can put on a good show.  They have talented musicians and excellent speakers and top notch sound and lights and presentation.  They offer everything from childcare to counseling to laundry and hairstyling.  But as the services have become like professional shows, the prayers have lost power.  These days we pray for things we want, we pray to get healthy if we’re sick, but I don’t hear a lot of prayers that are simply to honor God and commit our lives to serving him.

The core of the church is found in a real connection to God.  It really doesn’t matter how good the presentation is, if the relationship with the Lord is lacking.  So the church in many ways looks good on the outside, but it’s kind of empty on the inside.

How about you?  Can you identify with that.  If you’d like to know what a good prayer life is like, Daniel provides an excellent example to follow.

note: I noticed that the audio in this one is on the quiet side.  So you might have to turn your volume up a bit to hear it well.
