RICHARD FOSTER: TO PRAY IS TO CHANGE

Richard Foster, in his book Celebration of Discipline, says, "To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives. The closer we come to the heartbeat of God the more we see our need and the more we desire to be conformed to Christ..."

(From a sermon by Terry Barnhill, The Power of the Word, 8/4/2010)
