Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise! Fine words, a great story, but it doesn't happen any more. Not here, not now. So why tell us that we should be spreading the good news the way Peter and his friends did, when we lack the basic resources? If I was able to tell a lame man to get up and walk, then, just maybe, people would pay attention when I tell them the 'good news'. If I tell them a story they've heard over and over again, that 'Jesus died for their sins', they say 'huh?'
