Arnie and Fred discuss a question a listener posed about the Lord's Prayer. The listener states, "Most churches I am familiar with recite the Lord's Prayer as part of their worship services, but I understand churches of Christ do not. If not, is that because you do not believe in it, or for some other reason?". We discuss the fact that there are two forms of the Lord's Prayer recorded in the New Testament. We discuss what Jesus used the prayer for and the occasions that the Bible writers recorded Jesus praying. We also discuss the occasions when the apostles and early disciples prayed. Finally, we discuss some pointers gleaned from Bible verses for acceptable prayers.
