Luke 5:16 addendum

Posted in Luke 4:14-9:50 by Administrator on the July 10th, 2007

It is unfathomable that for some reason I persist in thinking that I can faithful serve God without pursuing prayer and solitude. Every time I read the gospel I am struck again. Jesus prays well and deeply. No wonder he could risk it all and choose God’s will over his own.

As if it needed to be stronger, it is worth noting that verb tense here is the one that describes regular action not just occasional action.

I simply must pray more and I must spend regular time in solitude. Until I do, I am a sham.
