In Matthew Chapter 6, Jesus gave us some instructions on how to make solid investments towards our future in Heaven. He gave us instructions on how to fast and specifically HOW NOT to fast, how to give and specifically HOW NOT to give and then most importantly, how to pray and specifically HOW NOT to pray. He stressed the importance of keeping it private between you and God and then He stressed the importance of keeping it real without fake platitudes or repetitive phrases. In discussing these passages, we find enough material to offend just about everyone, the classic fundamentalists as well as the modern age charismatics. But as with all things, before accepting or rejecting what I say in this broadcast, keep an open mind while filtering everything through the scrutiny of Scripture.
