Our most relevant contribution…

“Be still and know. Civilization is littered with unsolved problems, baffling impasses. The best minds of the world are at the end of their tether. The most knowledgeable observers of our condition are badly frightened. The most relevant contribution that Christians make at these points of impasse is the act of prayer—determined, repeated, leisurely meetings with the personal and living God. New life is conceived in these meetings. Prayer is not all we do. Patterns and behaviors develop out of the prayers…. There is intelligence to be exercised, behavior to be shaped, moral decisions and responsible courage. ”
(1932 -)

New Life is not “conceived” in prayer. Unless of course Mr. Peterson means something else besides “eternal life” which is received, already extant, from the hand of God only when one gives themselves to God’s one and only remedy for man’s incurable condition, the Lord Jesus Christ. But then Mr. Peterson is well known for “imagining” what God thinks - read The Message and compare it with real translations or original texts of the Bible and you will discover what I mean.
