I heard a preacher talk about that!

Man in prayer room: "Oh, God!"

God: "Yes, what can I do for you?"

Man: "Oh, Lord!"

God: "Yes, can I help you?"

Man: "Oh my Lord!"

God: "Listen, I would really like to help you! What do you need?"

200 times!

I love it when all they say is Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus. I think He's up there saying, "What?"

Right. It's a great filler for 30 minutes.

I think God loves it! JMO.

Have you ever noticed how many times David repeated "Praise Ye The Lord" in the psalms???

In David's case it was not vain repetition. His message was worthy of the object being worshiped.

I think it borders on vain repetition mentioned in the Bible. The use of "Jesus" or "Hallellujah" over and over again does nothing but add length to the prayer. JMO

As long as people are showing up at church and not the local bar, then I'm okay with whatever they want to sing. Well, I don't like to sing, "A lowly worm as I.." too much.

When we sing that, and thank God rarely, the bass player always looks at me cause he knows I'm going to start laughing.
