November 2023 Call to Prayer
Fervent praying can accomplish much for and in the kingdom of God. The English word fervent simply means “impassioned, forceful, passionate, heartfelt, powerful, and wholehearted.” The verse seems to indicate that a passionate, wholehearted prayer will accomplish much, implying that a half-hearted prayer will not be as effective. Do we pray in faith really believing and expecting God to answer our prayer and grant our requests if they are in line with His will?

Chicago Public Schools Promote Hindu Religious Practice of Transcendental Meditation
Next time you hear some arch-defender of the a-constitutional “wall” of separation between the church and state whose knickers are in a twist because a school allows ten seconds of silence during which students may pray, remember this story, reported last summer by the Chicago Tribune:
…Students at a Chicago high school were led into a room with shades drawn and door windows papered over, lit only with candles and scented by incense. They were handed flowers and told to pay attention to instructors, according to one student’s account.
