2009.09.14 Monday Morning!

Greetings from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in Vinita, Oklahoma.

As you begin your work week, I ask that you remember that the Church is a fellowship in which we belong to each other by authentic Christ-like living...

What disturbs me more than the increasing loss of Church membership is the increase of people who say they are Christians but who admit they take little or no time to pray. Many are unable to speak confidently of the worth and power of prayer.

This is a serious condition to be in. "To forget God is more fatal than to deny God" (Maude Petre). Not to pray is to live as if God did not exist.

Our faith is as real or unreal, as strong or weak as our praying is.

Commitment to prayer is a part of our commitment to God.

"Take Ten" daily in your own "upper room" for conversation with God. You'll find that
god will infuse you with new energy!


With blessings and all good wishes,
Richard
