Time's Short

"Churches that pray publicly for individual persons don't grow to be big churches." That's the way I took the line to say, anyway. I guess the idea is that if you take the time, in the general assembly, to pray for everybody requesting it, you spend way more time in prayer than we have time for.

Rather, pray for specific persons during small group meeting times.

Good idea.

It's like the trolley operator who drove past several stops, though riders were wanting off. "Because," said the operator, "I couldn't keep the schedule if I had to make all the stops."

Time's short so we'll sing only one verse of "Take Time To Be Holy."
