“If you are ashamed of me before men then I will be ashamed of you before the Father.”
How very true. What kind of a prayer doesn’t mention the name of Jesus - we are to pray to the Father in His name. This PC stuff is getting old.
Precisely. To “pray”, and in that “prayer”, intentionally, repeatedly as a practice, leave out any mention of the Savior’s Name, is futility gone to seed! The Right Reverend Dr. Soundingbrass might just as well have mumbled “Peter Piper picked a peck....” It would have been just as meaningful, and just as effective. JMHO, of course.
