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.
