How To Measure A Man
Adrian Rogers
Acts 20:17-38
Take your Bibles and turn to Acts chapter 20. We're continuing our series in the book of Acts entitled ''That Old Time Religion.'' And so we're trying, not necessarily, to modernize our church. Actually we're trying to get our church back to the first century so we'll know how to live in this 20th century because that old time religion is also the new time religion.

And then here's what happened in verse 36, ''And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all. And they all wept sore and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words that he spake that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.'' Now use your imagination. I mean, dear friend, they were one in the bonds of love. They had been through so many prayer meetings, evangelistic crusade together. They had so many victories in Jesus. Their hearts were melted together and now they are having a prayer meeting. They are all on their knees. And God moves into that prayer meeting. And there is such a sweet spirit.
And then as they get to praying they realize this is the last prayer meeting on earth they will ever have with Paul the Apostle. And they begin to weep. There are not just a few tears. They are convulsing. The Bible ...
