CHAPTER 12 - Prayer-Meeting Topics.
Some Reasons Why Church Members Should Always
Attend the Prayer Meetings.
All reasons why one should attend the preaching of the word apply here.
The example of the apostles: Acts 1:13-14; Acts 2:1.
Shall the practice of the Jews shame Christians? See Acts 16:13; Psalms 116:18-19; Joel 2:15-18.
United prayer was a duty: Joel 1:14; Luke 1:10; also Psalms 34:3.
There are special promises to united prayer: Matthew 18:19-20.
We are social beings; an isolated Christian life is not adapted to our requirements: See Psalms 142:4; Malachi 3:16; Hebrews 3:12-14; Hebrews 10:25.
We must strive to enter heaven, and we cannot, therefore, neglect such a potent means of grace: Luke 13:24.
One stick will not burn alone; put the scattered fuel together if you want a blaze; the more the fuel, the hotter the fire: Proverbs 27:17.
To aid the elders in getting the young men to take part in the prayer meeting, the following topics are submitted. Let one of the older men take the lead each week, and let him assign the different divisions to young men. If they do no more than read the references at first, it will be a start; but they should be encouraged to comment also.
