2 Corinthians 11:3
King James Version
3 But I fear,
lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ.
In CHRIST is simplicity.
In the world is complexity.
In CHRIST is truth.
In the world is deception.
That's how you know things are of CHRIST.
A child understands Scripture easily.
For he loves stories.
And GOD's stories are TALL, for He is TALL.
Adults have too much of the world in them
That's why JESUS asked we be like children.
Matthew 18:3
King James Version
3 And said,
Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Worship has become too complex, and full of human rituals.
As born again, I live by CHRIST's simplicity.
Here's how JESUS asked us to pray:
Matthew 6:6
King James Version
6 But thou,
when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly.
And here's the prayer He asked we pray:
Matthew 6:9-13
King James Version
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever.
The Lord Jesus was purposely simple.
He was the STERLING example for all of us.
He always gave GLORY to the FATHER.
Never took credit for Himself.
He was truly GOD's beloved SON!
If the Lord was simple, His gospel was simple, why must our worship of Him be ostentatious?
We are not to bore God with "vain repetitions", as if the Lord can't hear, or know what we need.
Matthew 6:7-8
King James Version
7 But when ye pray,
use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard
for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
before ye ask him.
Worship simply.
Pray simply.
If there be a prayer, let it be of GRATITUDE, instead.
Ephesians 5:20
King James Version
20 Giving thanks always
for all things unto God
and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
In complete trust.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
King James Version
18 In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
