Healing through Worship by Robert Colman

Pastor Robert Colman is the worship director at Blackburn Baptist Church, Melbourne.

Several decades ago, A. W. Tozer said, "Worship is the missing jewel in the Christian Church'. In some ways things have changed since Tozer wrote those words. Over the past 25 years the Holy Spirit has been renewing his church in a remarkable way and bringing Christians everywhere a new understanding of the meaning and importance of worship. We have a way to go though, if we are to follow the words of Jesus to 'worship the Father in spirit and in truth'...more

Worship: Touching Body and Soul

by Robert Tann

The Rev Robert Tann is a Uniting Church Minister in Ulverstone, Tasmania.

PRAYING THE LORD’S PRAYER

By Barry Cramer

-Chief Editor of Spirit Restoration Ministries

 

 

The prayer traditionally known to Orthodox and Catholic Christians as the "Our Father," and to Protestant Christians as the "Lord’s Prayer," is perhaps best known in its traditional Elizabethan English (King James) version:

 

Our Father, which [or, who] art in heaven,

Hallowed by thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

 

For many Christians, primarily in the liturgical or prayer book traditions, this prayer is prayed every Sunday in the liturgy or worship service.. . .more
