The Secret of Growth

Now verse four. Now, while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the ordinances for them to follow, which have been determined by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, the Jerusalem council.
So the churches were being strengthened in the faith and were increasing in number daily.
The word decree also is can be translated as dogma. Now, this is grace.
Some people preach grace, so preach a form of grace, saying that if you ever say, you have to do something, that’s not that’s not the bible, well, well, read the bible because the bible is filled with, you ought to do this, You should do this, you must do this.
It’s still grace. Other people, it’s not biblical to say Grace is so much that you can’t say should or whatever they say, you should never feel guilty.
No, you should feel guilty if you’re insane if you’re away from God.
So then you can get back and then stop feeling guilty.

But God uses all those things you can get just as you can make a dogma about grace.
That’s not really the grace of God, paul is the one who taught the most about grace and look what he says, and he is very strong about his preaching.
So they’re following the churches are following the decrees of Jerusalem and they’re living in obedience and repentance and they’re also living in revival.
You do not have revival without repentance, you don’t have revival without holiness in some form, it’s not about what people say.
So it’s about real holiness. You don’t have revival without you want revival in your life, repent of anything.
That’s not God. That’s the first step.
I mean, you know, the the the the thing here, you know, that’s one of the problems with modern Christianity or modern Western Christianity.
It’s all about comfort and all about God will work for you when God will be your personal trainer and God will make you feel better and give you success.
That’s not really the gospel. Yes.
God will bless you according to righteousness, according to his will if you’re following him.
So they grew people are getting saved and they were preaching the gospel.
One of the also great problems in the modern churches that the absence of people actually spreading the gospel.

I don’t mean the professional evangelists. I mean, you every one of us, he didn’t say the professional evangelist.
You go, he said you all my disciples, you all go and we need to do that.
Or we’re not following God. And now that you know, now we think a lot of the culture is getting so, so evil and so oppressive, so canceling things.
You know, somebody just told me there was a video up of mine that just got taken out.
I don’t even know what video was, but we never had that before. I mean were there.
I don’t know, we gotta check it out, but we have been canceled all these once over doing nothing different than we have always done, which is to preach the word of God.
But that doesn’t mean you stop preaching the word of God and get on the defensive. You.
It means they need it more. It means now is the time to be all the more on the offensive.
