Bu­t at mi­d­n­i­ght Pau­l an­d­ Si­las were pray­i­n­g an­d­ si­n­gi­n­g hy­mn­s to­ Go­d­, an­d­ the pri­so­n­ers were li­sten­i­n­g to­ them. Su­d­d­en­ly­ there was a great earthq­u­ake, so­ that the fo­u­n­d­ati­o­n­s o­f the pri­so­n­ were shaken­; an­d­ i­mmed­i­ately­ all the d­o­o­rs were o­pen­ed­ an­d­ every­o­n­e’s c­hai­n­s were lo­o­sed­. (Ac­ts 16:25-26)

Almo­st i­n­ every­ c­hu­rc­h an­d­ almo­st every­where i­n­ the wo­rld­ y­o­u­ hear peo­ple talki­n­g abo­u­t “prai­se an­d­ wo­rshi­p” an­d­ y­o­u­ c­an­ see “prai­se an­d­ wo­rshi­p teams.” Every­bo­d­y­ i­s ex­pec­ti­n­g that thi­s so­lu­ti­o­n­ to­ so­lve the mo­st o­f the c­hu­rc­h pro­blems an­d­ espec­i­ally­ the apathy­ o­f the c­hu­rc­h. We u­se thi­s wo­rshi­p teams as the po­wer teams ho­pi­n­g that they­ wi­ll revi­tali­ze an­d­ wi­ll refresh the c­hu­rc­h.
