Great Revivalists I Winter - 2001-2002

This text, [Acts 4:13-22 ] I think, is an indictment on the 21st century Church, and the 21st century Christian, for it seems we have stopped using the name of Jesus. I do not mean that we have stopped saying the name “Jesus” with our mouths, but we have stopped relating the Name to the broader social realities in which we live.
