Episode notes

The book of Acts is like this laboratory where all the theories and teachings that Jesus puts out there are put into action. Ananias, who only shows up in these simple couple verses, is really a great example of the virtues and teachings of Jesus Christ in action. The Savior has such a way with words of saying, you're only hurting yourself here. What you're doing is hurting you. But usually it's us that are causing the injury, not the Savior Himself.

Dr. Casey Griffiths continues to explore the Book of Acts and the power of the Holy Ghost in the lives of the disciples of Jesus Christ.
