1 | Will the real Christians please stand up | James 5:16 | IBLONG2GOD | 126242 | ||
Think about this: If you were to stand in the pulpit and ask the congregation, "By show of hands, how many of you believe in the effectiveness of prayer?" You would think that a very great majority would raise their hands in enthusiasm, right? Right! I think the same way, but I get discouraged at the number that shows up for prayer service; and that in relation to the number that comes to Sunday morning services...we have 2. I understand the scripture about where 2 or 3 are gathered... This is not about that. This is about a people living with conviction. I used prayer as just one example, but take your pick. It could be bible study or any of the disciplines. If this describes you, discipline yourselves! Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh unto you! Stop waiting on God to act, because God is waiting for you to step out in faith. Fight the good fight of faith! |

Scripture ... Mat 6:6-13, Jam 5:13-20 ....... IBLONG2GOD, I have only seen one church where prayer meetings were attended by a majority those who attended Sunday morning. Moreover, some, or is it most of the larger churches don't have a prayer service or (and) the room is very small. By the do you understand all the references to 2 or 3 gathered is about judgment, not prayer or the church. Searcher |

Searcher, I was going to say that Mat 18:20 was about prayer, not judgement. But then I thought, "I'd better double check that." You know, you're right! The context is quite clear. It is indeed about judgement (proper judging of things in the church)! Thank you for clearing up another of my fouled up preconceptions! (How'd that get into my head, anyway???) :-) Mat 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." |

Scripture ... Deut 17:2-7 (vs 6), 19:15-21 (vs 15); Matt 18:15-20 (vv 16, 20); 2 Cor 13:1-3 (vs 1); 1 Tim 5:19; Heb 10:28 ... I commend your investigating Scripture - Acts 17:11. There are those who refuse to see the truth. The above Scripture says two or three gathered (witnesses) all about judgment. The Lord is there also in Deut 19:17 (Matt 18:20). Searcher |
