By John C. Lennox

By John Starke

The world clamors for efficiency and productivity.  But the life of prayer is neither efficient nor productive.  Instead, as we learn in the psalms, prayer calls us to wait, to watch, to listen, to taste, and to see.  These things are not productive by any modern measure ― but they are transformative.   As a pastor in Manhattan, John Starke knows the bustle and busyness of our society.  But he also knows that prayer is not just for spiritual giants.  Prayer, he writes, (more…)

Longing For Revival
