Convicting? Challenging? Convincing?

"What is both surprising and depressing is the sheer prayerlessness that characterizes so much of the Western church. 


It is surprising, because it is out of step with the Bible that portrays what  Christian living should be;


it is depressing, because it frequently coexists with abounding Christian activiity that somehow seems hollow, frivolous, and superficial."


D. A. Carson
