We don't believe 'in the power of prayer,' but in our all-powerful God who empowers our inherently powerless prayers. -Burk Parsons
by Randy Alcorn
(0 Reviews)

In his book "Seeing the Unseen," Randy Alcorn includes a quote by Burk Parsons that emphasizes faith in God rather than the mere act of prayer. The essence of the statement lies in the belief that while humans may feel powerless, it is through God's infinite strength that their prayers gain significance. This perspective shifts focus from the efficacy of prayer itself to the divine power that enables prayer to be impactful.

The quote underlines the idea that prayer is not just a ritual but a connection with an omnipotent God who can transform our weak efforts into something meaningful. By acknowledging human limitations while trusting in God's prowess, believers can find assurance that their prayers hold weight and purpose, inviting a deeper understanding of the spiritual dynamic involved.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
