What delusion! Someone is dreadfully lost in the cosmos. Our Heavenly
Father has the ability to hear our prayers as they fall from our lips
without the help of a website or a radio transmitter. He is big enough and
powerful enough to answer our prayers.
It is important to study and talk about prayer, but it's even more essential
that we pray! I am thankful that our Elders at West-Ark recognize that
prayer is important and powerful in the daily life of a Christian. They are
taking the initiative to lead the way for us to become a praying
congregation. Beginning this Sunday you will find a newly designed Prayer
Request/Visitor Card in the pew rack. This can be filled out and then put
into the collection plate or the box found in the foyer. Several of our
Shepherds will also be available to pray with you and for you at the close
of our services in Room 100.
Praying for people we know and talking to our Heavenly Father about specific
situations in our congregation or sphere of friends could revolutionize our
personal lives, our families, our church, our nation, our world, and our
future into eternity.
See you in Bible Class!
"Pray Continually"
Do you have an urgent prayer request? Have you heard about the website that
will beam up your prayer request via radio transmitter to the "last known
location of God," presumably somewhere in the universe where the "big bang"
occurred. The false assumption is that if we know for sure this one location
of God, and we can send radio messages into space to this location, then we
could send our prayers to a place where we know for sure God resided. This
website even offers "contemplative thoughts" as you compose your prayer.
