Excellent observation. A lot of so-called pastors spend 20 minutes of their 30 minute sermon telling entertaining stories and trying to convince you to keep tithing. They will read one or two verses and take them totally out of context by not reading the verses that proceed or follow.
They pray in public, something Yashua explicitly said NOT to do.
They encourage spiritual laziness by telling us that as long as we "believe in Jesus" it's all good.
If you truly believe in Yashua, then you will have to do what he commanded. Not to say that you will never fall short, but honestly, most of us don't even try.

Public prayer always had a weird feel to it for me. Christ was very clear on this and by following his example, I don't sense what it has become is wrong in the evil sense, but it is definitely not as he would do.
