This is another of your post that’s going on...Paul,<br />This is another of your post that’s going on our church bulletin board.<br /><br />I like what Aussie John said about “flippancy” while praying.<br /><br />It rubs me the wrong way if a preacher closes the service by telling God the ‘three points’ of his sermon, or if he says ‘during your early morning quite time’ etc.<br /><br />I dreamed a group of Muslims demanded if I had prayed that day. I told them the Bible teaches to ‘pray without ceasing’ which meant to be in the presence of mind that you could pray. If you were angry, you would be breaking that command. In the dream, they replied that was interesting.Rex Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976501582240117188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-87998135972015621992010-09-01T07:50:08.651-05:002010-09-01T07:50:08.651-05:00Aussie J and Debbie,

I'm glad you republished it. Excellent!...Paul,<br /><br />I'm glad you republished it. Excellent!<br /><br />You summed it up well with your final words,"Brethren..it should not be so. Methods, forms, the way one does things is NOT sacred and must OFTEN change with culture and times to gain a hearing."<br /><br />I must confess I can't handle flippancy, especially during the Lord's Supper and public prayer.<br /><br />Your article brings back some, not so fond, memories, when, as a much younger fellow I tried to freshen up the methods and forms.Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-18907091015350519922010-08-31T15:16:35.566-05:002010-08-31T15:16:35.566-05:00Bob,

But it's followed quite closely by a lunch at a men's meeting at church, when I sat with the young worship leader and we celebrated His provision, in the same way. The revelation in Texas, to me, was repeated in this young man, who rejoiced over the meal in a manner I'd never seen before.<br /><br />If I haven't said it before, THANKS.Bob Clevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110395869562328309noreply@blogger.com
