PLEASE! PRAY IN THY CLOSET!!!

Matthew         Jesus's words!

6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Here is more unheeded advice from Jesus.  Preachers and priests pray every Sunday in their churches, not to mention the long winded prayers at Graduations and other public events. We were in the hospital the other day, with my father in law, and his preacher wanted us all to join hands, so that he could give a long, loud prayer. We did not join hands for this VERY public display.

 

Do Christians listen to anything their savior tells them?

Since Doug and I have become Atheists, we have noticed that the Christians in our lives have been praying in front of us more. How I wish they would listen to Jesus and go into a closet!
