quotes from Chapter 45 Prayer Meetings and Revival in the Church by Joel R. Beeke
"Prayer meetings in America have fallen on hard times. Less than ten percent of members now meet for prayer in churches that once had vibrant, Spirit-led meetings. In many churches, prayer meetings have become cold and boring."
"It is time to reassess the importance of prayer meetings, for the church that does not earnestly pray together cannot hope to experience revival and renewal."
"During the Great Awakening in Scotland, prayer meetings often began with children, then spread to adults."
"We desperately need churches to unite in the kind of prayer that the Spirit may use to produce world-wide revival."
