If we as believers are not "scheduled to death" won't we use the free time to "roast the preacher" or plot a mutiny of some sort? ARGH! Idea sharing and mutual encouragement and discussion is SO MUCH MORE conducive to spiritual growth (as the REVEAL study attests)<BR/><BR/>I find it ironic that something that has been a spiritual discipline for YEARS (centuries); silence, is now being feared by church leadership.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if Dan intended the article to be read "tongue in cheek" but that's the way *I* read it. Certainly there MUST be sarcasm afoot??? Would anyone, church leader or not, who truly wanted the will of God in his/her life discount PRAYER and silence as the way to FIND IT?!?!<BR/><BR/>Great thought provoker! Thanks for sharing!Paula Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572562635544226495noreply@blogger.com
