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 |

2 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | lionheart | 206041 | ||
Val, People will get legalistic and at times hard hearted. The Lords Prayer was prayer to help teach us how to pray. To use it in a service or metting as you did was perfectly fine. The question I would ask these folks is that when someone is praying or prayer being said together in a service or meeting where are thier hearts, what are they doing. Hopefully not just standing there like a stump on a log. There was an old saying while I was in the Navy, It's an all hands effort. So when we gather together Val, PRAYER is an all hands effort. So stay strong my dear. In Him, lionheart |
