Modern Church vs Acts Church

Modern Church vs Acts Church

Acts 5:40-42 ...and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

This verse gives a clear difference between the modern church and the true church in the book of Acts.

In the book of Acts, the apostles were let go AFTER they were beaten and commanded not speak about Jesus Christ.

They counted the incident worthy to suffer for Christ’s sake, they left rejoicing and immediately put a plan together to continue to teach and preach Jesus Christ!

Unfortunately, the modern church has dropped the ball when it comes to true, biblical evangelism, as they are too busy designing their "light show" for the "rock concert" they hold on Sundays.
