THE book of Acts is the story of early-day Christianity. This book gives us a great many principles that should guide us in Christian effort at the present time. One is reminded of the Lord’s word to Moses when He commanded him to build the tabernacle: “Look that thou make them after their pattern which was showed thee in the mount” (Exod. 25:40). God has given us in the book of Acts a pattern of Christian testimony, missionary effort, world evangelism and building of Christian churches—a pattern which we would do well to follow. Certainly we can be assured of this: the closer we come to ordering all things according to this holy pattern, the greater blessing will attend our efforts.
