Prayerless Christians


" A prayerless Christian is like having your room wallpapered with Saks Fifth Ave gift certificates but always shopping at Goodwill because you can't read." John Piper

This is a quote from the chapter on prayer in John Piper's classic, "Desiring God". This book is still one of my top 10 and I go back to it often for encouragement.

  1. Great quote there. It's scary what my all too often neglect of prayer says about me. It doesn't match up with what I say I believe.

    I think I've made small strides in my prayer life lately by God's grace, but have infinite room for improvement. Looks like prayer is a favorite topic for you these days, Marc. I've enjoyed following along.
