I was the guy with the floppy blue hat to your right at your workshop in Orlando. A line of young admirers prevented me from greeting you, but I want you to know that without your session the whole event would have been a bust for me. (Even Ed Stetzer was constrained to speak on theology, which he’s good at but he’s better at being creative and giving us stats, etc.) I felt about “Exponential” the way I have been feeling about TV, radio, and the internet… they are advertising us to death! I can barely even listen to Rush anymore because it’s ALL ads.

Yours in Christ,

Ed Lowe

I don’t think “John” made a mistake when he prayed without articulating that he would accept whatever God’s will was in the situation. We are not told anywhere in scripture that this is a recipe or requirement for prayer. It’s much more of a traditional way of praying than a biblical mandate. Yes, Jesus used that term in the garden. But we don’t find him using it in his other prayers. In fact, in Luke 11 and 18 when Jesus teaches on prayer, the emphasis is on persistence more than anything else – and in the case of the persistent neighbor, Jesus says that it was his persistence and shameless importunity that triggered his request being granted (not knocking on the door and asking for bread with a caveat that it’s OK if it’s not your will to give it to me). Anytime we turn prayer into a recipe we risk removing it from the ABBA Father privilege that it is.

In your research for this chapter on faith from chapter 1 of your “Ten Dumb Things” book, did John mention any more about what he prayed for when “That morning, while in prayer for Susan’s healing, [...] He felt as if God had physically reached down and touched him, whispering in his ear, ‘I’ve heard you, She’ll be okay.’”.

Our Sunday Bible study class thinks he made a mistake in his prayer – he did not pray that God’s will would be done in his wife’s situation. We felt that he should have told God that he would accept whatever God’s will would be for his wife – whether she would be healed or not healed.

Is this the first and most major mistake he made in this situation? (Besides not accepting his wife’s death as God’s will in her sickness?)

Thanks for your time, Dave

Safe travels. Hope we cross paths again sometime in the wide world.

Best,

However, I really can relate with the 10 Dumb Things you outline in your book. I originally intended to read only a few chapters- I was skipping around. I was so interested that I ended up reading the entire book. I think I’ll complete the discussion guide as well. +1

They think it sounds way-out, and not serious. I’m having trouble getting the info on your website.

You’ve peaked my interest in Jeremiah. I know very little about him but I want to know more.
