'Maybe Peter Could Help?'
Acts 9:37-38.
a) At that time, however,
b) She became sick and died,
c) And her body was washed,
d) And placed in an upper room.
e) But the Believers had heard that Peter was nearby at Lydda,
f) So they sent two men to beg him:
g) "Please come as soon as possible!"
(Through this QT I can see that Maybe Peter Could Help?)
PRAYER: That we will be ready to help when needed and we are available.

'The Four Basic Internal Early Church Activities.'
Acts 2:42.
a) Apostles' Teaching.
b) Fellowship.
c) Breaking of Bread. (Meals and Holy Communion).
d) Prayer.
(This Second one teaches me The Four Basic Internal Early Church Activities)
PRAYER: For our Churches to follow this Early Church pattern.

Chris.
Our Churches should be ready today to help their members in every situation where they need help, and give advice where necessary. In this case, someone had died. This is definitely a situation that most members, outside of the dead one's family, would not really like to assist in. It is something that they would not be ready to assist in, except a few. Maybe we need more training in Churches for the practical issues in life. This training could be entitled: "How can we help?". It would mean that the Church would be ready to help in many situations. An entire book could be written on this subject, and probably has been!
