The differences (and there are many) between socialism/communism and the Christian community are seen in God’s power in the lives of believers and in their motives driving their actions. “Listen” as you read the following Scripture:(NASB) Acts 4:32-35 “And the congregation of those who believed (in Jesus Christ) were of one heart and […]
Peter prayed and the followers of Christ who were gathered together agreed with him as he prayed. They prayed in one accord and “in the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” What were the results? (NASB) Acts 4:31 “And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they […]
Have you ever said, or heard someone say, that God is too good, too loving, too kind to permit His own to suffer cruelty? I have from many and even from followers of Christ. Since God the Father had suffering (the cruel suffering of death on a cross), in mind for His Son, […]
Peter prayed to the Lord God after his release from prison (he was imprisoned for preaching about the risen Lord Jesus Christ). This prayer began by acknowledging the Creator God who made heaven, the earth and the sea and all that they contain…this God of the Holy Bible is the Creator. (Acts 4:23-24) […]

You and I have a choice, just as Peter and John had a choice: to listen to God and believe Him enough to obey His words and please Him. Or listen to men and follow their rules to please them. (NASB) Acts 4:19-20 “But Peter and John answered and said to them (Council of […]
God’s word says:(NASB) Acts 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” For salvation, for eternal life ~ there is no other person, no other gods, none by which anyone can go […]
Peter and John were arrested and jailed the evening before and now stood in the center of their accusers. Who were those accusers? The very ones who accused Jesus in the last week of His life! Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas and others of high priestly descent. And interestingly, Peter used the same […]
Peter and John were arrested and spent the night in jail. What may have been discussed during the night in a jail cell? What was the real reason that they were arrested? Was it really about the charge of not having the proper credentials to heal a person? When God’s people are in dire […]
