ACTS 3:1-11 - Corps Notes - December 4, 1975
ACTS 3:1-11 December 4, 1975 The Way College of Emporia Well we go into a record tonight that is so much like God’s Word, simply amazing, dynamically revealing of the greatness of the first century church and a section again of God’s Word that has been pretty well hidden. For the most part it’s just been another nice story to people. Something that occurred in the first century that passed away with the apostles, and consequently this is the kind of thing that you no longer believe for. See, I came through the same kind of background that the men my age came through that were trained in the theological seminaries, and that is that in Peter and John’s day they didn’t have the “smarts” of the medical profession. And therefore, they needed Peter and John and God to help them. But since that time we have developed science and the medical profession, and it’s the medical profession that has replaced the power of God and the greatness of that which is made known in the Word. So the medical profession with their hospitals took over the days of Peter and John. You just can’t get rid of God's Word that easily, because if one thing in the book of Acts is dropped out, then you drop out anything you want to drop out and then you lose the new birth, you lose everything. It’s either the church in action with the greatness of the power of God all the way through or it isn’t. The greatness of Jesus’ ministry was manifested in its maximum with the healing of the man born blind in John 9. The greatness of the power of God in the believers in the early church was made manifest here in the third chapter of the book of Acts. This is the first record in the Word after the birth of the church regarding the deliverance of someone who was born incapacitated, or as I say, who came from the factory with parts missing. You see, in the last session, I think I told you that when people were born again of God’s spirit, they immediately spoke in tongues, and I showed it to you from the text. Havin

Tweet Topic: logospedia,lp Format: mp3,pdf Publication Date: 12-4-1975 On Ephesians 4:25 where I want to begin tonight, or where we will begin tonight , the first part of what the Research Team gave me is the work that Walter Cummins published in our wonderful Way Magazine on "The Spoken Word." 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
