Prayers of Adoration

Pastor Wilson has been quoting a lot of Charles Spurgeon’s criticism of pastors lately.  Now this in which Spurgeon lambastes the tendency to address one’s congregation in prayer rather than God.  He rightly condemns strutting and showing off but I wonder.  One of the purposes of prayers in worship is to bless and edify the congregation.  I guess that should be a side effect though and not the thing aimed at.

A toddler fools the art world, or at least one ghetto within it.  Actually, I kind of like his stuff.
