Have you seen the Protestant "rosary"? It's a bracelet with each phrase of the "Prayer of Jabez" on a separate little link. One of my co-workers had a magazine that had a full-page ad for that on the back cover.
Have you read this?
"The prayer actually takes the form of a request/vow formula. Wilkinson divides the prayer into four parts but the prayer in the Hebrew is a singular petition. The request represents the first part of the prayer but the vow is missing. Wilkinson’s phrase “that I may not cause pain” is a curious rendering of the text. The phrase does not occur in the Hebrew and the addition of these words suggests that Jabez is thinking about more than merely himself."
That is doubly obscene.
'Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz. My friends all drive Porches. I must make amends..."
well, I don't think it's handled like a Rosary -- but it certainly seems like an icon, and most allegedly non-denominational worship programs are loaded with icons and traditions -- written and unwritten. Most have their own "popes," personalities that are seen to be speaking in the place of God, such as pastors or denominational leaders.
Catholic convert speaking here: one day I woke up and realized how many liturgical things we did in our Charismatic congregation while speaking in code against Catholicism. The scales fell off.
