Is That Old-Time Religion Sufficient for Today? [29:59]
by Wally Winner rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the first-century Christians and what we can learn from this dedicated fellowship of believers today. Paul was confronted with polytheism when he stood on Mars Hill in Athens and taught about the Unknown God. It was from this pagan culture that many falsehoods about God developed. Christ died believing the same promises as all of us: that He would be resurrected by his Father to immortality. We live and die with the same hope. This is the "Old Time Religion". This is the religion of the Apostles and disciples of the early church.

If it is within the purposes of God to provide salvation by His Son, how can we whose thoughts are beneath His thoughts question and challenge His way of doing things?
