1 | silent prayer | Matt 6:5 | Hank | 191541 | ||
Mike - Some of my colleagues already have answered your question correctly, to wit, that there is nothing in Scripture which teaches that prayer must be vocalized. Some years ago I adopted a practice which has served me exceedingly well and which I would like to commend to you without reservation. Whenever "someone" tells me something, especially something about what he thinks the Bible teaches, I am not the least bit shy about asking this "someone" to prove it. False teachers are flying around like an army of rapacious bats emerging en masse from their cave on a starless night, and one can hardly be too careful these days. The Bible says, "Test all things; hold fast what is good" (1 Thess. 5:21, NKJV). ...... Years ago "someone" (probably the same one who told you about prayer) told me that if I handled frogs, I'd get warts. Well, I was extremely fond of frogs back in those days -- I bear them no ill will even now! -- and I paid no attention to my ill-advised advisor, but handled frogs to my heart's content. And I'm happy to report that to this very day I don't have a single wart. :-) ...... It's mighty important, friend, to be careful from whom one takes his marching orders. In all matters of faith and practice, you'll never go wrong to take them from God's word, the Bible, and from it alone. --Hank | ||||||

Ah...Hank, You have something in common with my daughter. She is fond of frogs, too, as well as turtles, snakes, lizards. But I won't allow her to keep one except turtles. :-) Shalom Azure |
