Earth Shaking Prayer
Adrian Rogers
Acts 4:31
Take your Bibles and turn please to the book of Acts. Some Bibles call the book of Acts the Acts of the Apostles. I want you to understand that that description is not in the original text. It's just what the Bible printer put up there to describe what he wanted to call the book of Acts. And he calls it the Acts of the Apostles. It's not really the Acts of the Apostles.

How many of you were here that night? Ah, all right. Now, what I did was to stand up and move over to that doorway.
