Day of Prayer
Dr. Johnny Hunt, the President of The Southern Baptist Convention, has asked that January 31, 2010 be set aside as a day of prayer. Hunt says, "We live in unprecedented times, with Christian and moral foundations rapidly crumbling before our very eyes. Meanwhile, many Christian churches, which should be a mighty force ready to spread salt and light in this dark world, are prepared. God's glory has been set aside while other things have overshadowed our first love." He goes on to say, "The reputation of SBC churches is akin to the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2:1-5. Jesus commended them for doing many things, but called them to repent." May we as the church put feet to our faith and fall on our knees. Remember, Jesus never said if you pray and fast, He said when you pray and fast! Should we have these moments where we stop and commit to praying, or should this be a daily commitment?
