#congregationalist — Public Fediverse posts

Hall—famous for the tract “Come to Jesus”—reads “give us this day our daily bread” as a communal petition. God gives more than we need precisely to exercise the grace of giving in us, and to open the opportunity of special reward. The “us” and “our” in the prayer are doing considerable work that individualist readings prefer to ignore. Hall thought this worth pointing out. It remains worth pointing out.
