Rescue the Perishing: Personal Work Made Easy
Seibert, Fred R.
Bible -- Indexes
- Be a prayerful christian.
- Always be on time.
- Ask God to help you sing.
- Make it a point to attend every meeting.
- Do not quench the Spirit.
- Be ready to obey at God’s calling.
- When you come, look, as though you enjoyed the religion you profess.
- Shake hands as though it were not a dead fish tail but as if it were
a pleasure.
- Always be prompt when others are slow in testifying.
- Watch for those who raise a hand and are convicted, and follow them
up and lead them to Christ.
- Make it a point to invite your friends to attend the meeting, and
accept Christ.
- When you come to the meeting, don’t find fault with the evangelist
or the preacher’s methods. Ask yourself the question “if all the
church members were like me, would this revival be a success?”
- Make it a business at the close of each meeting to speak to some one
about seeking Christ.
- Always pray before the meeting and for your friends, that you may be
able some way to lead them to Christ.

_*How to Hinder a Revival.*_
- Never pray. If you did, it might help some one.
- Always make a long prayer.
- Then you come, be sure to take a back seat and stay there.
- If you do pray, pray at the evangelist and the people and not for
them.
- Never bow your head when others are praying for if you did, they
would think you might be interested.
- If you shake hands, do it as though it were an awful cross to you.
- Be sure that you keep account of what the preacher says and then rip
him up the back.
I would suggest to read this over every day and see which of these
things you are doing. If you are a christian and found doing some of
these things above and hindering a revival in which you might use your
influence in saving somebody else, ask yourself this question—if all the
church members were like me what kind of a church would my church be?
Revival, The.
*What to bring to It.*
1. Bring your own Bible; every work man prefers his own tools.
2. Bring the topic—in your memory, not on the card.
3. Bring some matured thought on the theme—from your Bible study.
4. Bring the best illustration or application of the theme you have
found in your reading or other research.
5. Bring some wish, aspiration, sense of need—sated appetites are the
hardest to cater to.
6. Bring your attention: a wandering mind never wanders to God.
7. Bring your sympathies; give more than you expect to get, and you
will get more than you expect.
8. Bring your smiles and cheerful looks and emphasize the *beauty* of
holiness.
9. Bring your friend, or a stranger. How easy to increase the
attendance by a few personal invitations!
10. Bring a large expectation, and God will fill it.
