Message: [QUOTE="sabach, post: 145796, member: 866"] It means that if you are outspoken in your faith just for the sake of looking good for humans, you get no reward from God. In that case it would be better if you prayed in a closet. However, if you are outspoken in your faith to give glory to God and lead others to Him, God will reward you. This verse speaks not only to the act of prayer, but the attitude behind it. It doesn't mean we can't pray in public if we want, but it means that if the only reason we are praying in public is to look good for others - don't bother. I will admit that there are many believers who pray in public just to be seen by others. From what I have seen, I don't put Tim Tebow in that category. [/QUOTE]
