Pastor Peter (March Family Talk )
March 8, 2011
Dear Congregation,
I think it was Billy Graham who said there are three essentials to doing God’s work. They are prayer, prayer, and prayer.
I’m sure he’d agree it takes more than prayer. It takes faith in God and Jesus. It takes faith in God and Jesus. It takes obedience to the
Word of God. I think what he meant was that it can’t be done without prayer. Well, it can, but it won’t be lasting. As I think back over
my thirty-five years of being in church work in four different churches, my main regret is that I didn’t pray more. I regret that I relied more on techniques and programs than I did on prayer. I regret that
I didn’t stress prayer or call people to pray more. I guess that’s why I’m making such a big deal about prayer
while I am serving as your interim Pastor.
I want prayer to increase in my life. I want to prayer more.
I want to pray with others more. I want to invite others to pray more.
I want to prayer to precede and permeate everything I do for God.
I want it for my life and my ministry.
I want to do all I can to infuse prayer into the life and ministry of
First Baptist Church of Corona.
It is essential to doing God’s work. Please join me in making prayer
THE Priority.
Peter Carlson,
Interim Pastor
