"My house shall be called a house of prayer."

I made this chart basing it off a typical Sunday service back how. What is really striking is that dispite in Isaiah 56 God calls his house a house of prayer [and then Jesus backs this up later] there was, and still is, a shockingly small amount of planned prayer. [To give full credit, somepeople do pray during the periods of sung worship and even during the sermons and so to draw a distinct division is unfair, but I don't think it is wholey unfair. Especially as I think there are other churches that do less.]

This all begs the questions...are we turning the church into a den of robbers...or worse?

However we shouldn't end on a negative note. Let's committee to pray more, after all church is not just a meeting for 1:30/2hrs on a Sunday.

Please feel free to comment, perhaps post what you think the statistics are in your church/churches you have attended.
