Jesus taught us to pray as a community.
Matthew 6:9 "Pray then in this way: "Our..."
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to pray together?
Note: The American culture robs us of community, seducing us to believe that indepedence is better than interdependence... so much so... that community looks idealistic and spectacular. This is not the way of Jesus.
“Jesus is Lord” is a radical claim. One in which we pledge our lives to follow him. And yet, most of us ignore the teachings of Jesus. We reimagine him so that he fits neatly into our world instead of letting him change our entire way of being. This blog was a devotional that walked through the gospel of Matthew (and a little into Mark)identifying where we are ignoring Jesus. And inviting him to change us.
