Well, if I understand your point correctly I would agree with you. It shouldn't be construded that reading scripture or praying in public is a bad thing. And I would agree with you on the attitude of the "heart".

I was referring to people who get together on Sunday and recite some verses of scriptures (be it few or many) without a heartfelt change in attitude. That's what our Lord Jesus told the Pharisees.

HarleyD, very good of you to reply! It is delightful to see agreement as well. Regarding "the people who get together on Sunday...", who fail to have "the heartfelt change in attitude", they are to be pitied and prayed for, and certainly not condemned (as the Pharisees would do). The mercy of Our Lord towards the humanity of it all on our journey is soooooo remarkably awesome! :-)
