    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

Miracles were performed, souls saved. Just a few verses in and we see that wherever God sends genuine revival, Satan ...read more

    Paul's resume dispels the whole Prosperity Gospel. When these false apostles and prophets have a resume like Paul's I might want to hear what they have to say as that experience will prove they are wrong.
