Kyle Lake: Excerpt #2
from the book [re] Understanding Prayer
I'm really enjoying Kyle's book and I'm going to eventually review it on the liquidthinking site. Kyle is Dave Crowder's pastor at UBC Waco.
Here's another quote.
"Henri Nouwen said that when prayer becomes a way of life for you, it does not mean that you think about God in contrast to thinking about other things, or that you spend time with God instead of spending time with other people. Rather, it means to think and live in teh presence of God. AS soon as we begin to divide our thoughts into thoughts about God and thoughts about people and events, we remove God from our daily life and put him in a pious niche where we can think pious thoughts and experience pious feelings. Our instruction in 1 Thessalonians 5 "pray without ceasing," then finds new meaning."

you might not know this, but Kyle Lake died today in a freak accident at his church, when his microphone fell into the baptismal during a service.
Hard to believe he's gone. Tonight he's looking into the eyes of Jesus, the lover of his soul--what a thought. We grieve with those close to Kyle. We ask for grace and mercy to cover his wife and children, his flock, those who love him most. Thank you for the cross, Lord. You are good, and your love endures forever!
