The thing is that the Bible is really clear that we should pray and that we should pray together and that it should be a staple of our community. That's not just an archaic legalistic Old Testament thing either. It's all over the New Testament too, so, I don't know how we can pass it off.</p> <p>And as far as results...I dunno...you show me a group that has gotten together often to pray seriously, and then we'll see if there are results. Right now, I don't see a group like that, and I think that's the problem.</p> <p>Re: Spiritual Devastation...Part of the coolness of the book of Joel is that he shows the value of not waiting for total devastation before we live under the reality of God and all that He stands for. If there IS spiritual devastation around us, we should seriously seek a collective conversation with God. Even if there isn't we should seek the same thing.</p> </p> <p>Maybe we should do a Fishbones show on this...</p> Well…I think you’ve at least reinforced that prayer is awkward and doesn’t always seem to make sense.

Maybe we should do a Fishbones show on this…

there has to be an alternative method..

what has been the results of running around and gathering up everyone and making them pray about stuff?

plus.. wouldn’t the collective vibe about something be enough for god to get the message?

plus!
