Christian, PRAY! Prayer Is a Means God Uses to Give Us What HE Wants/' —W FEBRUARY, 1991 Christian, PRAY! Prayer is a means God uses to give us what HE wants/' —W. Bingham Hunter True or False? "How few congregations there are that really pray! We all agree in theory that we ought, but in practice we neglect to do so. "Again and again one meets congregations where dis tress is expressed at the lack of conversions and frustration at the lack of joy in congregational life. 'Where is the "body-life" ;that there ought to be?' they ask. "When you start asking questions, you discover that there is little or no corporate prayer. There may be an occasional prayer meeting, but either very few attend it, or it is mainly given over to preaching; and there is still very little corporate congregational prayer." —Michael Griffiths news Am nous An Invitation to W & W Readers folks at some nearby congregation—as Write for us!

Oh What Needless Pain We Bear Alex V. Wilson Four boys were trying to out-do one another as they boasted about their families. One said proudly, "My mother went to college with Miss America!" Another responded, "So what? My daddy plays golf with the governor!" Not to be outdone, the third chimed in, "Big deal—my brother knows Joe Montana!" But the last boy said, *TThat's nothing! My grandmother talks to God every dayV Can your children or grandkids make that last statement about you? Do you talk to the Most High God every day? What privilege, what honor, what joy He gives us, to call the Almighty our Abba- Father. How important is prayer to you? "Ezra regarded prayer as more important than a band of soldiers and horsemen (Ezra 8:21-23); Christ regarded prayer as more necessary than food or sleep (Mk. 1:35, Lk. 6:12); and the apostles put it ahead of preaching (Acts 6:4)." That observation is made in H. C. Thiessen s theology book, and it is good theology. The English church leader J. C. Ryle applied this truth clearly and urgently: We must use the means by which God's strength is appropriated— —solitary prayer for the individual, united prayer for the Church. Who of us has not felt the weakness, the unreality, die cowardice that spring from the lack of solitude with God? In this resdess age most of us live too much in public. We spend our spiritual strength and forget to renew it. We multiply activities and cur tail our prayers. By an error of judgment, we work when we ought to pray > —because to an active mind work in far easier than prayer. And then God cannot bless. We lose in calmness, in depth, in strength. We grow feeble and shallow; the work is done, but superficially, and will not stand. The servant whom the Holy Spirit can use must resist the tyranny of overwork. He must resolve to be alone with God even if the hours spent with Him appear to rob his fellow-men of his service. If today there went up to God united prayer similar to the earnest, faith ful prayer of the early church—if there went up to God a cry for power— power for holiness, for service, for suffering—ana along with it the necessary condition of Submission to God's will, a current of spiritual life would run through the districts of our land.

  • Prayer (More Testimonies)
    Holding fast the Faithful Holding forth the Word of Life." THE PRIVILEGE AND POWER OF PRAYER (MORE TESTIMONIES) "Pray One for Another" (James 5:16) I cannot tell why there should come to me A thought of some one miles and miles away! In swift insistence on the memory, Unless a need there be that I should pray. Too hurried oft are we to spare the thought, For days together, of some friends away; Perhaps God does it for us, and we ought To read His signal as a call to pray. Perhaps, just then, my friend has fiercer fight, And more appalling weakness and decay Of courage, darkness, some lost sense or right; And so, in case he needs my prayer, I pray. Friend, do the same for me. If I intrude Unasked upon you, on some crowded day, Give me a moment’s prayer as interlude; Be very sure I need it, therefore, pray. -Marianne Famingham MISSIONS SEMINAR August 11, 1995 Sellersburg Church of Christ Sellersburg, IN 8:30 a.m .

  • Lifeway, Rick Warren, and the Son of God
    LifeWay, Rick Warren, and the Son of God Dr. Randy White LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention and Southern Baptist Pastor Rick Warren have teamed up with the New Age Catholics Mark Burnett and Roma Downey to produce “Son of God: The Life of Jesus in You.” This is a six-session “Bible study” for small groups. As a Southern Baptist who is concerned about the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention and LifeWay (wholly owned and controlled by the SBC), I want to write an in-depth critique of this resource. First, let me share an underlying concern with small group “Bible study” as it is most often seen today. Can we really call it Bible study when a participant would not have to bring a Bible? The Scriptures used are printed in the student’s book, devoid of context and often used out of context (as you will soon see). The contemporary small-group is a study of a celebrity pastor or teacher’s work. Only by a wild stretch of the imagination could the participant leave the session saying they had engaged in Bible study. The small-group Bible study is the equivalent of medical school students playing a game of Operation or engineers building a bridge using Legos. In years past, the church had small groups that would meet and study Christian authors, but it was called it a book circle. Bible study was when people brought their Bible and studied the Bible for content. This kind of study is almost non-existent in the purpose-driven, growth-oriented church.

  • Rochester Area Bible Quizzing
    Rochester Area Bible Quizzing "The Answer is in the Question" Exactly what is Bible Quizzing? Quizzing is a Christian sport sponsored by Rochester Area Youth For Christ. It encourages young people to “hide God’s Word in their hearts”, as well as to develop the physical, mental, social, and spiritual areas of their lives. Each month quizzers study a specific number of verses from previously selected Books of the New Testament. After learning the material, the teams compete together by answering questions based on the passages. Two or three teams face off at one time. The teams are seated on pads facing a quizmaster. The quizmaster asks the questions, and the first person to jump off the chair has a chance to answer the question and score points for his or her team. Who can participate? Quiz teams are composed of 3 to 5 young people from a church. The teams compete against other teams in the same age bracket. We presently have two leagues, a Little League for fourth through sixth graders, and an “A/B” league for seventh through twelfth graders. At the parents' discretion, kids younger than fourth grade may quiz. Are there any awards? Trophies or ribbons are presented to the top quizzers in each league. Also, there are various opportunities to travel to quizzing tournaments. Did you say travel? Yes! As with other sports, various tournaments are held all over the country. Quizzers from our leagues are encouraged to make teams and participate in these tournaments. This year we participate in the Crown College Tournament in the Twin Cities and the World Bible Quiz Association Chicago Tournament in the Chicago suburbs.

  • Collection Title: NACC Records, 1926-2017, Undated
    Collection Title: NACC Records, 1926-2017, undated Repository: The Helsabeck Archives of the Stone-Campbell Movement Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan Library 1 Walker Drive Johnson City, TN 37601 Email: [email protected] http://library.milligan.edu/archives/ Creator: North American Christian Convention Executive Director’s Office Title: NACC Records, 1926-2017, undated Collection No. HSC0002 Extent: 17 cubic feet (17 boxes) Language: English Abstract: This collection consists of the North American Christian Convention records. The North American Christian Convention ran from 1927 to 2018 when it changed to become Spire. These records include planning and research materials and materials relating to running the convention. Of special note are records relating to Leonard G. Wymore, the first executive director, and records of the various committees. In addition, the collection contains promotional items from most of the conventions. Administrative History: First held in 1927, the North American Christian Convention was a gathering of the independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ (“4 C’s”). As such, it was not a denominational meeting, but a meeting highlighted by discussions, exhibits, worship services, and preaching. Beginning in 1950, the convention was held annually until 2018, after which the convention changed to become Spire. Leonard G. Wymore was the first full-time convention director, with offices in Cincinnati, OH, beginning in 1963. Following Wymore were Rod Huron (convention director, 1986-1997), Dusty Rubeck (executive director, 1997-1999), Terry Wuske (managing director, 1998-2002), Allan Dunbar (executive director, 2002- 2009), and Larry Collins (managing director, 2002-2019). The convention has also historically had a committee, with women joining in the 1990s.
