One of the deepest problems we face is we have an absolutely lazy generation of Christianity. No reverence, no fear of God, no sense of understanding of what this is all about, no armor, no battle, no prayer life, no prayer meeting... nothing!

Carter Conlon

Carter Conlon (* 1953) ist ein kanadisch-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor, Autor und Radioprediger, der von 2001 bis 2020 die überkonfessionelle Times Square Church in New York City leitete. Er wurde vor allem durch großangelegte Gebetsinitiativen, seine Radiosendung „It's Time to Pray“ sowie durch seine deutliche Kritik am Wohlstandsevangelium bekannt. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Mahner zu Gebet, persönlicher Heiligung und geistlicher Erneuerung jenseits materieller Heilsversprechen.

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
