We’ve got to recover the “culture of empowerment” of ordinary believers that was evident in the first-century church. Did you know that leaders of the movement in India that has reached millions point to this same “culture of empowerment” as being essential to movement? We’ve got to empower ordinary people once again. Remember this verse: “The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13).
