Sodom Had No Bible

[stmatthew]

I just received the book titled "Sodom Had No Bible" today, and will be reading it over the next day or so. I usually finish a book within a few days.

Yet, even as I think of the title of the book, i know that it will prompt me to a greater realm of prayer for this hour. The fact is that while Sodom didn't have a bible, and didn't have a preacher, we in America have had this glorious gospel fed to us at any given time. We (hopefully) listen to christian music, read christian books, listen to tapes and cd's of the best of the best preaching. We have church several times per week.

Yet we pray less than our forefathers. Our children do not know what an all night prayer meeting is. Fasting is no longer a regular practice. Miracles and healings are no longer common occurances in the church. We now have to have music to move the pews.

Yes, there are about 3 threads on the subject of discontent now. I am starting another, not to complain, but just to speak from my heart of something that I see that has been lost in the shuffle of church life and christian living.
