Prayer

I have a heart for worship in the United States.  For well-organised, large-scale, worship.

It helps to have the perspective, that
worship is already happening in the United States,
and across the world.

Pray:

  • For public worship in the United States,
  • with good practice, and
  • good thinking.

With a fresh translation and a concise step-by-step commentary.

In Rom 1:14-17, Paul re-expresses the ancient Habakkuk 2:4 prophetic vision, which was about the distant future, as rather an historical ‘vision’ unfolding in his own personal and historical context.

The church has members in many nations.

General statements about “the church” need to be made with consideration of the fact the church has many members in many nations.*  That is, the church is more than the members in one nation or region.

For example, “the church” has many thousands of thousands of members in:

  • European Union,
  • United States,
  • Brazil,
  • Mexico,
  • Russia,
  • Philippines,
  • Nigeria,
  • Democratic Republic of Congo,
  • China, and
  • Ethiopia.

And, there are many thousands of members in:

  • Bermuda,
  • Cambodia,
  • Dominica,
  • Faroe Islands,
  • Greenland,
  • Federated States of Micronesia,
  • Mongolia,
  • San Marino,
  • Seychelles,
