Today I want to delve into what I believe is one of the most profound reasons why we don’t pray for business. It has to do with how we think as Christians, a fundamental element of our worldview. But first, to review, so far I’ve suggested five reasons why, I believe, we don’t pray for…

So far in this series I’ve suggested three reasons why we don’t pray for business in the context of Christian worship services: Reason #1: We don’t pray for business because we don’t pray for business. Reason #2: We don’t pray for business because those who lead us in prayer have not been trained to do…

In the last two days I have begun to consider why it is that Christians do not pray for business, at least not very often in the context of corporate worship. So far I have suggested two reasons: Reason #1: We don’t pray for business because we don’t pray for business. Reason #2: We don’t…

Yesterday I began a short series on the question: Why don’t we pray for business? In particular, I’m wondering why Christians don’t pray, in the context of corporate worship, for business institutions, business leaders, and those who work in businesses.

If anything, the peace of Jerusalem is even more fragile and more essential to…

Most people have heard of Stonehenge, the famed monument in England, a few kilometers north of Salisbury. Tourists from throughout the world flock to this unique reminder of an ancient world. (Photo: Stonehenge) But now you can have Stonehenge in your front yard (if it’s pretty big, that is). No, I’m not talking about the…

Today I want to finish my series on the National Day of Prayer. In yesterday’s post, I completed an evaluation of Jon Meacham’s use of Jesus to bolster his case for the separation of church and state. In today’s post I want to suggest two other passages from the New Testament Gospels that could shed…

If you’ve been following my blog for the last few days, you know I’ve been posting a variety of thoughts related to the National Day of Prayer, which is today, Thursday, May 6, 2010. Included among these thoughts has been an evaluation of a “religious case” for the separation of church and state, one that…

57% of Americans Favor the National Day of Prayer According to a recent USA Today/Gallup Poll of 1,000 adults, 57% of Americans favor the National Day of Prayer, 38% don’t care either way, 4.5% oppose it, and .5% don’t know or refuse to answer. My favorite line from Cathy Lynn Grossman’s article: “For most 18-…
