Religion an Effective Witness
Acts 1:8
But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem…


Lord Peterborough, speaking on one occasion of the celebrated Fenelon, observed: "He is a delicate creature. I was forced to get away from him as fast as I could, else he would have made me pious." Would to God that all of us had such an influence over godless men! Some one has said that it is not so much the words as it is the "Acts of the Apostles" that convince us of the truth of the gospel.
