Praying for Change, Sitting in Silence
What servant of Christ with any vision for the church and the glory of God does not pray to be used as a conduit for God’s Spirit to flow through for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom of Christ? Certainly, our greatest prayer must be for the gospel to be worked into people’s hearts, resulting in changed lives and true worshipers of the Father.  However, when I glance into the mirror of my life, I too often notice I am praying for change while sitting in silence. Those of us who believe “the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes,†(Rom. 1:16) are the very ones who deny its power by never heralding the message. Dr. John Avant, V.P. of Evangelization at NAMB, shares a testimony reminding us of the need to step out of our comfort zones in order to discover, or rediscover, the greatest joy in life. May we be those who pray for change and speak of the supreme satisfaction for which the world is hungering.
Nice post. We are remarkebly selfish as Americans. We are like those who live in a nation of multitudes dying of starvation, talking to one another about the plight of the poor from our plantations of wealth.
We have good news, but we treat it like it is worthless. God raise up a generation who will truly follow Jesus and thus become fishers of men.
