The Hottest Membership in Town (3 of 20)
E. Andrew McQuitty
Acts 2:1-21
We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God (Vance Havner). And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, 'What does this mean?' (Acts 2.12).

If a bunch of guys decided to start a new organization, they'd probably get together over pizza and talk business between plays of Monday Night Football. If a bunch of gals decided to start a new organization, they'd probably meet for brunch at Le Peep's and write a whole set of club by-laws while chatting about the kids. But when God deci ...
