Acts 10:1-48 - Corps Notes - April 29, 1976
Acts 10:1-48 April 29, 1976 God sort of softens people up. Do you know that? He did it for you, I think. For instance, had you been in on a real heavy session the first time, you most likely would have not come back for a while. But God just sort of prepares people. He keeps moving and moving. When you begin to see that in the Word, it builds a lot of patience in your life, and a lot of grace and a lot of understanding, a lot of forgiveness of others.

I do not believe that you can ever get too much of the Word of God. Every time you come back to that Word and work that Word you get excitingly alive on the inside and just so dynamically effervescing that sometimes you wonder if it can get any better. The next time you’re in something it’s better again. I was thinking yesterday how the fellows were saying that that experience in the Holy Land was the greatest thing that ever happened t

Also, as we cover Ephesians 4:28 tonight, I had all the information in front of me from another article that Walter Cummins has in the... has had in the Magazine. The first article on Ephesians 4:25 is entitled "The Spoken Word." The one on Ephesians 4:28 is "Workers for God." Both of these pieces of work by Walter are absolutely superb. And I believe that they should appear and will appear in our research journal GMIR whenever we begin publishing that. {GMIR Aramaic word meaning ' to perfect, accomplish , mature, complete, arithmetically to be divisible without any remainder.} And I noticed again that some of the thi
