The Worship Quote of the Week for (10/16/2001):

The Practice of Prayer Today’s’ WORSHIP QUOTE is a short tutorial on prayer from the seventeenth-century poet-pastor George Herbert. Rather than the familiar "practice what you preach," this one comes in the category of "practice what you pray." THE PRACTICE OF PRAYER If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, surely I am bound, so far as it is in my power, to practice what I pray for. — George Herbert (1593-1633) [With appreciation to Robert McAnally Adams, curator of the Christian Quote of the Day, www.gospelcom.net/cqod.
