Our lives race like NASCAR engines on steroids.<\/p>\n<p>Yet as I reflect on the life of the Apostle Paul, this guy made our lives appear anemic. A friend of mine runs a business called, \u201cA Vision in Motion.\u201d The Apostle Paul\u2019s \u201cbusiness\u201d was \u201cA Blur in Motion.\u201d Up before sunrise, he worked late into every night. A tent maker by day, a lay preacher at night. A discipler of proteges, like Timothy &amp; Luke. An avid letter-writer, all handwritten without the aid of spellcheck \u2013 to both churches and individuals. A church planter, a theologian, an apologist; he did it all \u2013 and all of the time!<\/p>\n<p>Yet what I personally find most compelling about this man \u2013 and that\u2019s all he was, a person like you and me \u2013 despite all the hours of intense work and ministry, he sustained this incredible prayer life. He prayed for all the churches he founded and others he had only learned about, as well as the plethora of individuals within each. Did Paul ever sleep?<\/p>\n<p>Last week we began our more-than-year-long study of \u201cdigging even deeper\u201d into Paul\u2019s Magnum Opus letter that he scripted to the Church at Rome. Why not jump in with us as we\u2019re just breaking ground into our deeper dig, as we discover together his priorities in prayer. I\u2019ve entitled this Sunday\u2019s sermon, \u201cPaul\u2019s Persistent Prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; We just came through another Christmas season; so life\u2019s going to slow down, right?
