The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Matthew 21:13

Title:  House of prayer

Congregations today are far from being houses of prayer, where preaching has taken center stage as well as other social pursuits not pertinent to the worship of God, and prayer relegated to the opening and closing of such activities.

While the exposition of the Scriptures is vital to the growth of the church, prayer is its very life.  There has to be sermons, but a double portion of time must be allotted to prayer.

It is more desirable to talk to God than to talk to each other.
