Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of Award for Today, Pastor Chuck continues with the

sin of prayerlessness as we pick up in 1st Samuel chapter 12 verse 23 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck.

They said when they realize their wickedness, they said,

pray for us that we not die.

In response to that, Samuel said,

as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you.

In other words, not praying is sinful.

Not praying is sinning against the Lord.

God forbid that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you.

Now, if God has commanded us to pray one for another, then our failure to pray for one another

is disobedience to the command of God and disobedience to God's command is sin.

And the Lord has told us we are to pray one for another.
