“The worst sin is prayerlessness.” — P.T. Forsyth, from The Soul of Prayer
Prayerlessness
Greg Taylor
My wife, Jill, and I have three children: Ashley, Anna, and Jacob. We live in Broken Arrow and I preach for The Journey: a New Generation Church of Christ in Tulsa (www.thejourneychurch.faith). I have a B.A. in Journalism and an M.Div. from Harding School of Theology in Memphis, Tennessee. Before coming to Tulsa, we lived in Nashville, Tennessee four years, where I worked with The Zoe Group and Wineskins Magazine. From 1994-2001 we lived in Jinja, Uganda, where we worked with a church planting team, an experience that forever changed our lives. With Randy Harris, I co-authored Living Jesus: Doing What Jesus Says in the Sermon on the Mount and you can learn about other books I've written at my web site, www.gregtaylor.org. My most recent book co-authored with Randy is Daring Faith: Meeting Jesus in the Book of John.
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.
