 | Why do we stand to sing?
"We will stand in your presence before this
temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in
our distress, and you will hear us and save us...then some
Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and
praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with very loud voice."
(2 Chronicles 20:9,19)
| | | Why do we lift our hands?
"I will praise you as long as I live, and in your
name I will lift up my hands." (Psalm 63:4)
"Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise
the Lord." (Psalm 134:2)
"I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts
for you like a parched land." (Psalm 143:6)
| | | Why do we pray for the sick?
"Is any one of you sick? He should call the
elders of the church to pray over him and anoint
him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the
prayer offered in faith will make the sick person
well; the Lord will raise him up." (James 5:14-15)
| | | Why do we have speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues in the church?
"Now to each one the manifestation of the
Spirit is given for the common good...to another
miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to
another distinguishing between spirits, to
another speaking in different kinds of tongues,
and to still another the interpretation of tongues."
(1 Corinthians 12:7, 10)
"Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers
but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for
believers, not for unbelievers."
(1 Corinthians 14:22)
| | | Why does the whole church pray at once for specific needs?
"When they heard this, they raised their
voices together in prayer to God. ?Sovereign
Lord', they said, ?you made the heaven and
the earth and the sea, and everything in them.'"
(Acts 4:24)
| | | Why do we have audible praise unto God?
"Shout with joy to God.." (Psalm 66:1)
"...Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our
salvation." (Psalm 95:1)
"Shout for joy to the Lord...shout for joy
before the Lord, the King." (Psalm 98:4,6)
"Shout for joy to the Lord." (Psalm 100:1)
