MEN have forgotten God

"We have grown in numbers, wealth
and power, as no other nation has ever grown.
But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten
the gracious hand which preserved us in peace,
and multiplied and enriched and strengthened
us; and we have vainly imagined, in the
deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these
blessings were produced by some superior wisdom
and virtue of our own." –Abraham Lincoln

So here we are in the 21st century and we still don’t get it. Men have forgotten GOD. Key word MEN.
Honest Abe didn’t say a thing about women, because it’s the responsibility of men to do men’s work.
I think, with all the religiousness available today, even in some (many) conservative Christian churches, there are too many men who are quick to say “I’ll pray for you brother.” But then they forget something really important. (besides time on their knees in communion with the Almighty) They forget ACTION. Hence they abdicate their effectiveness.

So I got a great idea. If you want to reflect the POWER of Jesus Christ, then put feet to your prayers. “the effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”
Where are you, if you’re a professing "born again" believer? Are your prayers effective? If you really believed the Bible, and that Christianity is really "cool" how does that show in your life?
