Seven Chapters for Seven Days
Only seven chapters for the seven days, records of faithful work for God, of the struggles and perplexities of the early church, of the results of the simple yet mighty preaching of the living Word to Jew and Greek in Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and other towns and cities. We read of the first council of the church; that in that council Peter did not preside nor give voice to the Spirit, but James; of the simple instructions to the Gentiles concerning not duty to obey God's moral law, but questions over which they were perplexed. The record is simple and clear. God's working is both varied and wonderful. He works no two miracles just alike. His power works in infinite variety. In one case it converts souls, in another raises the dead, in another shakes open prison doors. He is just the same yesterday, to-day, and all days to come.
