![]() ![]() ![]() We preach that man is a sinner and stands guilty before God in need of salvation. We preach that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died an atoning death, and rose bodily from the grave. Modern Evangelicals preach the same Gospel that was proclaimed in the first century. What made them so different? Some say they preached a purer Gospel. Churches sprouted up across the Roman Empire. Yet, instead of copying them, we seem content with copying other modern churches that are "growing." But why copy a copy when you can copy the original (the book of Acts)? In Acts, God was saving people every day. ![]() Why does our brand of Christianity look so insipid compared to the believers of the first century? Where has the power gone? Has God changed, or have we? We've all heard the cop-out that says, "The book of Acts represents a different dispensation." What a sad, self-serving attempt to excuse our current state of spiritual impotence When we read Acts, we should yearn to experience a return to their brand of Christianity. When I read the book of Acts, I am embarrassed. ![]()
