Thought for the Week
Find help for the journey…. Modern Christianity, especially Protestant Christianity, has not made practice central. Other religions do: Judaism is primarily about following the way of Torah. Buddhists follow the eightfold path. Four of the five pillars of Islam are about practice, one of which is praying five times a day. I have often wondered how we as Christians would be different if we spent forty minutes a day in prayer.
