1 | Ending prayers in Jesus Nane. | Col 3:17 | Reformer Joe | 18528 | ||
Charis: I think that Koukl's point about "hurting our prayers" means that by the empty repetition of a phrase in which they put no true significance, many are actually taking the Lord's name in vain. Having listened to his radio program often, I would suggest that he is not suggesting the wholesale abandonment of the phrase itself, but a call to pray thoughtfully, with understanding of what it MEANS to pray in Christ's name. --Joe! |

2 | Ending prayers in Jesus Nane. | Col 3:17 | charis | 18532 | ||
Dear Joe, Greetings in Jesus' name! Thank you for clarifying this, my friend. Brother Koukl's radio program is not broadcast in my part of the woods! My only point of reference was the quote on the forum and the included web-page. Which is exactly why it is important to be careful to portray 'the rest of the story.' I was attempting to do so for the benefit of our many and various participants. :-) I pray that the sum of this thread would lead us to know His holy name, and call upon His name wisely and effectively! Indeed, may we not just use a Christian 'catch phrase' or 'code word,' as my distinguished fellow and colleague kalos has so aptly posted in another thread on Christian/Bible terms. In Christ Jesus, charis |
