Arrogance

Alleged serial killer's arrest: Churches' prayers played a part
The community has seen what can happen because of prayer,"Fox [the minister] said. It's just been neat to receive the kind of phone calls from people who have been calling.Fox also noted, "I don't think [our church] will ever be the same. There's going to be a huge momentum to pray more. It's taught our church a lesson ... that when God's people join together there's incredible power in prayer.... Members are saying, "Pastor, God really heard us," and that prayer has helped capture BTK.
Like you, I'm impressed with their logic. And also by their nerve.

Had BTK eluded capture, would the minister have concluded that prayer is pointless? And is God his personal policeman? If so, is the minister angry with God when He acts on his own initiative and allows criminals to be caught, absent a prayer session?
