National Day of Repentance?
As some of you may know, today is the national day of prayer. Dan Phillips shares a great insight on the meaning of prayer and the entire nation praying.
I oppose the National Day of Prayer, when it comes right down to it. Oh, I understand the argument: we should acknowledge God, and so forth. Okay, but — acknowledge “God,” as a proper noun, generic? Like acknowledging “beer,” but not naming a label?
Well, what use is that? Is it pleasing to God? Certainly not. When God says “God,” He certainly never means “However you define that word.” He always means “However I define that word.”
Is prayer about making ourselves feel pious? Or is prayer about God?
Read the whole thing.
