This is such an exciting chapter as we will see how the Apostles preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere they went.

And, signs and wonders followed them.

Did they preach the Gospel and heal the sick by their own power and strength?

No!  It was the power and strength of the Holy Spirit.

We can never do any work for God by our own power and that is the reason we must have the power of the Holy Spirit working in us just at the Apostles and the early Church leaders, like Stephen had.

Unfortunately, the modern day American denominational churches has watered down the Gospel of Jesus Christ because they are afraid of the Holy Spirit and do not want any part of His power.

They say they want His power, but they are afraid because they believe the gifts of the Spirit are for those crazy Pentecostals and  absolutly do not what any part of that emotionalism. Some of the modern day denominational churches have declared that the ministry of the Holy Spirit died with the Apostles and other denominational churches that call themselves Pentecostals are teaching heresy [which is an opinion profoundly at odds with what is generally accepted in most churches].

And too those that call themselves Pentecostals have gone to the other extreme and built their doctrines and theology around speaking in tongues as the only evidence of salvation.  These Pentecostals have strange rules and regulations about the way they dress and the way they wear their hair.

Over the years I've worked with individuals of various denominations and other religions and they all have one thing in common.  In their minds they believe that those who are not of their particular denomination, or faith, are all going to hell. To me, the modern day American denominational churches are an embarrassment because they are at odds with each other.

Some pastors preach from their pulpit that their denomination is right and all other denominations are going to hell.

They just cannot see that their denominations, which were built around taking certain scriptures out of context and denying others scriptures, is not pleasing to Jesus?

They worship their denominational doctrines more than the Word of God. And they call themselves Christian churches? One day we all will have to stand before Jesus and give an account for every word we have said.  Pastors and teachers will be judged more strictly than everyone else. The good news for us is there will not be any divisions or denominations in Heaven.

Okay, I know I got a bit carried away with my criticism of modern day churches here in America.

I could share a lot more about this subject, but I will save that for another day. I suspect the day is coming and has already started, when the righteous followers of Christ will have to go underground and meet secretly in homes and other buildings just like our Chinese brothers and sisters have to in China.

Did you know that China has the faster growing Christian Church in the world right now?

This is something to think about!

Are you a good person?  How many lies have you told?  Have you every stolen anything?  Have you every taken the LORD's name in vain?  Have you every looked upon another person with lust in your heart?  If you answered yes to all these questions you have just told me you are not a good person.  In fact you are a lying, thieving, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart.  The Ten Commandments are a moral standard.  Based on the Ten Commandments do you still think you are a good person?  Heaven or Hell?  Did you know God has provided a way for us to escape the punishment of hell that we so richly deserve?  Leave me a comment as I would like to tell you more about the saving grace that God has provided.
