The Devotional Life is Essential

by James Houston

This generation is possibly the first one in which action has been emphasized and valued more than contemplation.  Today we think contemplation wastes time, produces nothing, and bumps awkwardly into our schedules. A devotional life is a questionable priority for most successful people today. But are we "successful" Christians if we are so busy organizing and propagating the Christian faith that we really do not know God personally and intimately?"
