Prayer and Teaching of the Disciples

by

Acts 3:1 (NASB)
Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.

A Theme to Remember:
In the ancient Jewish community, prayers were observed three times each day: morning, or 9:00; afternoon, or 3:00; and evening, or sunset. This verse refers to the 3:00 gathering. Setting times for prayer each day establishes an important pattern and nourishes the soul just as regular meals feed the body.

Words to Remember:
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
–Thomas Fuller

Modern Evangelical Movement

by

The modern evangelical movement has focused on publishing, missionary outreach, and the preservation of key conservative doctrines. These doctrines include viewing Christ and the Trinity in terms consistent with the Nicene Creed, the imminent return of Christ to gather up the faithful, and recognition of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God.

Impact: Since World War II the evangelical movement has steadily gained prominence within denominations and among believers with the establishment of educational institutions like Fuller Theological Seminary and Wheaton College, publications like Christianity Today, and organizations like the National Association of Evangelicals.
