When we realise that we have suddenly had a mortal-moment and actually done something wrong, we tend to pass the buck to someone or something else. Acts 16.16-40 Reference: v.19 When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. (NIV Bible)
Paul is the guru of understanding another culture and being appropriate to it so he is able to preach the good news of Jesus. Acts 16.1-15 Reference: v.3 Paul wanted to take him (Timothy) along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. (NIV Bible)
We get so caught up in what people can and can’t do that we confuse what is Christlike and what is just our preferred lifestyle.
Acts 15.22-41 Reference: v. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements… (NIV Bible)
...we have dulled down the idea of `love others` to mean never get feisty with each other.
Acts 15.1-21 Reference:
I don't believe that God creates the hardship for us, but I do believe that if we are serving God with all our lives then our path will not always be an easy one.
Often we do things with the best of intentions, and yet our actions are misconstrued. These times often bring confusion and discomfort to us.
Acts 14.8-20 Reference: v. 11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" (NIV Bible)
Over and over in the Bible I read that God chose the everyday people, who showed faithfulness and commitment, and did extraordinary things through them. Acts
If we desire to tell people about Christ, we need to know and understand the stories of today and explain God's grace and love through them. Acts 13
As we travel though life it is important that we have other wise Christians around us so that we can continue to learn from them and receive guidance through them. Acts 13.1-12 Reference: v.6b-7a There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. (NIV Bible) |
