Satan is a relentless enemy, he will not abandon his attack on God’s church. The incident involving Ananias and Sapphira is the the first recorded internal crisis that the Early Churched encountered – Deception.
Deception originates from Satan. If the Early Church was such an outstanding church, a model church, how did such an incident happen? Let’s learn more.
In Acts 3, we see three groups of people discussing the name of the Lord, but the themes of their discussion were different. The Sanhedrin was opposing the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; the apostles were exalting the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Church was calling out in prayer to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, let us reflect on this passage and learn how we must regard the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
