(This Second one encourages me to Pray)
Chris.
It is so easy to criticise our own ‘home’ Church and negatively
compare it with other Churches. The Bible tells us it is sin to do that. Praying
for the improvement, strengthening and perfecting of the Church is a very
wholesome prayer. To be negatively talking or gossiping about the Church (And
remember that the Church is people) and then going in to Pray for the Church
can only be hypocrisy.
