Does this count under Matthew 18:20?
For where two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.

Cutiest thing I have ever seen. I was searching for some sites on the two or more gathered in my name passage and stummbled across this. I plan on showing it in my Theology class tomorrow. It drives home the simplicity of the call to gather together in prayer and praise, in communion with each other.
God Bless,

The photo is great
The scripture is a serious matter – but is more exciting and all embracing than the traditional Jewish requirement for 10 to pray together in agreement for a public request.
That the prayer being considered is for blessing is without doubt for in the passage all (the whole company which would equal every person of Israel in the whole town) are required for judgement which is a different matter
I agree with Max the photograph captures the essence of simple and effective prayer, which does not exclude any that belong to Christ (as I might add every innocent child does and who are outside normal rules for their prayers are for real)
Matt 18 v 19 – 20

About Me
Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.
Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.
Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
