Social Experiment

I was on a retreat a few weeks ago and decided I needed to take a survey of the Southern Baptist Pastors and Wives in attendance. I asked what do you need to teach a new believe? It always came back to two things, How to read your Bible and How to Pray.

As I look at these things I can't help but think that what we really need is to learn how to communicate with the Father. How to look at His love for us and respond with thoughtful response to Him. So what do we need to do?

Read your Bible and Pray every day.

I have to admit that with my Busyness at times I miss my time to read and pray. My desire to wake in the morning read God's word and then pray asking Him to bless my day. What about you? Do you remember to Read and Pray every day?

It is my desire to relearn these techniques to be able to communicate them to my friends who are new believers and encourage them to know the Father in more intimate ways.
