Is the church today capable of getting a leader like Peter out of jail
Could the church today get a man like Peter out of jail and would they pray 24 hours in unity to attempt to do so?
I Think the church can, not every member of the church, but i am sure we can find enough members among the vast number of the church that can do it. And remembering too that it was God that let peter out of jail, and i think He can do it and again. I believe he's working miracles right now.
Like Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24). There's an example of this today actually. Youcef Nadarkanhi is a pastor in Iran who has been sentenced to death in Tehran. He has been in prison for a pretty long time and he has a wife and two children. He was arrested on charges of apostasy from the state religion of Islam. He is the pastor of an underground church in Iran and he refused to recant his confession of Christ. Here we have a modern day martyr, although he hasn't been killed yet. Many churches have prayed for him in recent months and the UN has condemned Iran for still practicing this intolerant behavior.
Youcef has committed his life to Christ and is not afraid of death, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Perhaps the miracle God intends to work is not his freedom, but rather the conversion of other Iranian Muslims by witnessing Youcef's unwavering courage and devotion to Jesus? God always has a plan for suffering that is often far too complex and far too glorious for us to understand!

Christianity today is so full of compromise. The world impacts the church, much more than the church impacts the world. So with that being said, do you believe that the church today has placed limitations on God and the occurence of miracles in the world are simply because of our lack of obedience?

Are you going to church today or do you prefer to worship the Vizio?Do you think you watch too much tv? I remember as a kid we were put out in the yard and told not to come inside until the sun went down.

Do you think it's possible to have a 1st Century church in the 21st century?I was talking about this with my boss yesterday who is a Christian like myself. We were belaboring the fact that there are SO many denominations today, each with it's own variety of belief idiosyncrasies. I was halfway...

Who is the leader of twelve apostles?
by Deborah Sexton 13 years ago
It was James who led the early Apostles and it was Peter upon whom the church would be built. Yet today you wouldn't know it or even think it. Paul's doctrine is the one most churches base their doctrine on. The Disciples were students of Yahshua and became Apostles (teachers) after Yahshua's...
