April 25th, 1909.
(Copyright, 1908. by Rev. T. S. Linscott, D.D.)
The Gospel In Antioch Acta xi:19
30; xli:25.
Golden Text The dlBclples were
called Christians first In Antioch.
Acts xl:26.
Verses 19-20 Who were they that
were "scattered abroad?"
Had these men any authority from
the church to preach? (See Acts
Tin: :.)
Is It the duty of every Christian to
preach Christ, whether or not he has
been appointed by the Church to do
so?
Is It possible to enjoy the fullness
of God's love, and never say a word
about It?
Are good people liable to be narrow
In their views?
Are persecutions and all sorts of
trouble, always helpful to the children
of God?
Some of these disciples seem to
have been narrow, and preached to
Jews only; others being broader,
preached to the Greeks also, what
made the difference In these men?
'Which is the greater power to
broaden our views, and make us love
everybody; our environment, or sink
ing deeppr and rising higher In the
love of God?
Verse 21 Whether a man Is narrow
or broad, if he only preaches Jesus,
will God use him to extend his king
dom? Are any efforts to extend the king
dom of God ever in vain?
Verse 22 Did the news that Anti
och had received the word of God give
the church at Jerusalem joy or sor
row? What news is the most joyous
either to an individual Christian, or to
a Church?
What was the purpose of sending
Barnabas?
Verses 23-24 What sort of a man
was Barnabas?
Is it necessary, or not, to be filled
with the Holy Ghost, in order to make
converts, or to comfort the children
ef God, and are these results always
attained In the ministry of a man
filled with the Holy Ghost? (This
question must be answered in writing
by members of the Club.)
Do we exhort one another as much
as we should, to "cleave unto the
Ixrd?"
Are half-hearted people well pleas
ing to God?
Verses 25-26 Why did Barnabas
Start off to Tarsus to seek Saul?
Does It frequently happen that two
holy men can do much more together,
than they could do working apart?
Where were the disciples of Jesus
first called Christians?
What had Christ's followers been
called previous to being called Chris
tians? Verses 27-28 Is the gift of pro
phecy, that is telling future eveDU,
given to any person today?
Verses 29-30 Should the church of
Christ today be a practical brother
hood, caring for one another, and
ie'.plng each other financially, and to
every other way, as the need may be?
Should not the church be doing for
Its members the work now being done
by fraternal societies?
Chapter xil: 25 Barnabas and Saul
took the contributions from Antioch
np to Jerusalem to relieve the need
there, and then returned; wa3 It Just
is noble work as if they had been up
there preaching?
