Martin Luther's Evening Prayer
James 1:22-27 "Counterfeit Religion"
After the hymn "Arise O Christian People" and the reading of Isaiah 12, Psalm 148 is prayed and Dr. Zeile unpacks the idea of superficial religion that is mistaken for the real thing, especially by the practitioners! This followed by Luther's hymn on the Lord's Prayer with its plea, "Teach us to mean the words we say and from the inmost heart to pray." A collect for peace so that we may do God's will unhindered concludes the worship program.
