How to Pray
Right doctrine should lead to a life of prayer. In Acts 2:41-42, we are given a list of activities of the early church : “they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” This last character trait is what Dr. Lloyd-Jones expounds on in this sermon from the book of Acts. As to the importance of prayer he states, “There is no more thorough test of our profession of Christianity than just this: where does prayer come into it?” He also addresses three main questions: “what is prayer?”, “why pray?”, and “how can anyone pray?” On the last issue he notes that it is impossible to pray if God did not intervene and the only hope of coming before a holy God is through the blood of Christ (Heb. 10).
