. . . every upside has a downside. The prayer movement's upside is that
it is a genuine movement. It has resulted in a new awareness of the
primary role of prayer in our personal lives and our corporate
expressions.

I'M, not sure why this topic makes me nervous, but it does. Maybe it
sounds a little too man-centered. Maybe it doesn’t sound spiritual. Or
perhaps, it’s just too close to the same old way we’ve always prayed.
As I travel in churches, it’s clear that praying for health issues
absolutely dominates the typical church. Although I believe God is
showing the Church today that there are many other issues to address in
prayer, praying for healing is always extremely important and valid.

The early church in Acts did four things when it gathered together.
“They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). I don’t think
that means 25% percent of the time was given to each, but it clearly
shows a significant importance was put on each element. If our church
gatherings were measured against those four things, where would we
stand?
