<\/a><\/h3>\nWith the universal use of cell phones, the pay phones which once dotted our downtown have all but vanished.\u00a0 Outside of the Jake’s on Broadway restaurant in Pitman, a former pay phone has taken on a new and creative purpose…<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/h3>\nThe ways we communicate with each other have changed dramatically over the years.\u00a0 And, they will continue to change as technology advances.<\/p>\n
But the ways in which we communicate with God are time tested and dependable.\u00a0 We can communicate with God in pretty much the same way that Jesus did.\u00a0 Jesus prayed.\u00a0 Jesus looked for messages in God’s creation.\u00a0 Jesus took quiet moments where He could focus His thoughts entirely on God.\u00a0 He didn’t recite canned prayers like “now I lay me down to sleep…”; He prayed intently, even to the point of sweating drops of blood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The examples of prayer, meditation, and Bible Study as a means of connecting with God run throughout the Bible and through our personal experiences.<\/p>\n
