Subject: "The Disciple's Prayer"? |
Bible Note: Nolan and Steve: A brief footnote on your observations about "parrot" recitation of the so-called "Lord's Prayer" -- I sat in the pew of a certain church for 35 years and we "said" the prayer in unison every Sunday morning, as well as the Apostles' Creed. Did I say we "said" it? Mumbled it is more like it. And not once during all those years do I recall the pastor or anyone else ever elaborating on the meaning and significance of the prayer or the creed. The irony of it all is that not until my wife and I changed our membership from this "mainline" denomination to Southern Baptist did I ever hear an expository, exegetical sermon on Jesus' model prayer, but they never use it in corporate worship. I learned more about Jesus' didactic prayer from one good Bible-based sermon than I had learned by reciting it ritually for 1,820 Sundays. --Hank |
