Words of Prayer

Prayer

The elders of a certain church once came to a young man to criticize some of the theology and vocabulary he used in the prayers he prayed publicly in the church service. After they had laid their load on him he turned to them and said “Are you gentlemen finished? I have just one thing to say: I wasn’t speaking to you.” ── Michael P.
