Amos 8:11 says, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.”
Notice it isn’t that there won’t be Bibles available; it’ll be the same thing as in Genesis 3.
Jordan says Charles Stanley was on the radio recently talking about how “Abraham was a great Christian.”
Acts 11:26 says, “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
Jordan says, “Did you know there were no Christians on the day of Pentecost? We bill ourselves on the radio and TV in Chicago as representing the only non-Pentecostal message in Chicagoland. No wonder people throw rocks at us.
“Antioch is the center Paul went out from. It’s the center of his ministry. You hear people say, ‘Let’s go back to Pentecost.’ Really it’s, ‘Let’s go back to Antioch.’ The center of Bible-believing activity in the early church was Antioch and there’s a spontaneous expansion of the gospel from it in what we today call Turkey, all through Europe, Asia, down into Africa.
“Somebody asked me about how I said in one of my studies, ‘That’s a case of a pig picking up a piece of baloney and going too far with it.’ You talk to these guys up in the Midwest and sometimes you have to spell it out in little two-syllable simple words without any allusions to any kind of metaphors, but you guys are catching on.”
