Paul E. Miller

Answered prayer creates faith, which in turn encourages more prayer.

“The pastor’s primary task is to be a praying pastor who facilitates a praying church.”

Prayer is so fundamental to the life of the church that it is not a gift. It’s like breathing. It is not an option; it’s the engine.

The following is an excerpt from “A Praying Church,” by Paul Miller, published by Modern Reformation. In it, Miller addresses the problem of prayerlessness, particularly in church leadership. This excerpt is part 1 of a four-part series in which Miller will address the importance of a praying church.
