We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Phariasaism…to your knees man! and to your Bible! decide at once! don’t hedge! time flies! Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying and cowardly excuses…Enlist!
