    Surrounded by legalist and religious tradition within the Temple, Jesus was questioned by an earnest scribe which of all the many commandments was greatest. Jesus answered with a convicting and compelling statement.

    Too often it is true that those who pray do not work and those who work do not pray. Real worship will engage our entire beings and will empower us for action.

Worshipping in both modes. Over the door of the monastery hung a sign. It read, "To pray is to work; to work ...read more
