Prayerlessness
Greg R Taylor
I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated. I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here. You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
Nice quote. It’s kind of like not eating. Its ultimate result is death, not so much as punishment, but as the natural consequence of how life is “rigged.”
Good quote, and, I think, accurate. I have always thought the worst sin was pride, as it is the biggest thing that will cause distance between a person and God. Pride caused Satan’s downfall, and just about every other malady there is. Prayerlessness does the same. I don’t know anybody who is satisfied with his prayer life, and this one hits me personally.
