1 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Val | 206024 | ||
I had a ladies group in my home. We said in a group before the meeting "the Lord's Prayer". We went for about 6 weeks. After the group ended, a lady in the group critized me for using that format. She said that it was ritualist and that the Lord's prayer was not to be used that way, that it was only a model, that it was not from the heart, that it was not spirit-led and that she would not use it that way and she would not go to a church that used it in their service. She was knocking me because I have recently been visiting the church of the Nazarene and this individual church uses it in the worship service. We all stand and say it. That is where I got the idea. I am not ashamed to pray my own prayer. I just thought it would be nice to include everyone this way. I really didn't think it would be offensive. Blessings, Val |

Hi Sister, How typical for someone being so legalistic to accuse you of being ritualistic! How indicative of the heart of man! 1 Corinthians 2:11 (NASB) 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Steve |

Thank you for the encouragement. Your comments made me smile. I had not thought of it that way but it does shine a light. Thank you for the verse too, my thoughts exactly. Blessings, Val |
