2 | Is prayer of Jabez special? | 1 Chr 4:10 | Reformer Joe | 4441 | ||
Hank, I think it is special only as far as every sincere prayer to our holy God is special. Not having read Wilkinson's book, I do not feel terribly qualified to comment on it. However, its enormous popularity among our lukewarm Christian book-buying populace makes me reluctant to go out and buy a copy. I have just seen too many people go hog wild (a Texas saying that you Razorbacks are familiar with, I am sure!) over the latest thing, whether it be the "Gulf War equals prelude to Armageddon," the Y2K thing, the so-called "Bible Code," or even the "Left Behind" series (oops, now I KNOW that there will be backlash on that one!). In my never-humble-enough opinion, my brothers and sisters in Christ should stop following the latest fads/trends, get back into some serious study of the Word, ground themselves in good, Biblical theology, and obey the Holy Spirit in being ambassadors for Christ, which is what we were re-made to do (2 Corinthians 5:17-20). As you undoubtedly know, Hank, there are many examples of prayers in the Bible. My personal favorite is John 17. Of course, the one praying had the art down pretty good... Always a pleasure, Hank! --Joe! |
