His City

“…for I have many people in this city”   Acts 18:10             These are the words of Christ to Paul.  It is so easy to fall into the thought that we are alone and vulnerable when we are trying to live a life devoted to Christ.  But this verse is something to stand...

Saved

Acts 16:30 “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”             Just think about all the people that we witness the power of Jesus Christ to by our actions.  Paul probably had little verbal exchange with the jailer.  All the other prisoners probably spit, and jeered when...

Breakups

Acts 15:39   “Then the contention became so sharp, that they parted from one another”             These words paint such a large and convicting picture.  These were brothers in Christ.  They were both being used by the Lord, and both anointed by the Holy Spirit.  Yet,...

Their Roots Go Deep

“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast”   Psalm 57:7            Steadfast, it means unwavering. David is in a cave hiding from Saul when he is writing this Psalm of praise.  How many of us take the time when we are hurting, afraid, or stressed to praise...

Elect not Elite

Acts 11             The apostles were Jewish in their ethnicity.  The Jews in that time were so proud of their heritage and viewed themselves as better than everyone else because they were God’s chosen people.  But elect does not mean elite.  Imagine, the apostles had...

King and Commoner

  “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality”  Acts 10:34  Peter is explaining to a wealthy man that the gospel of Christ is freely available to all people of all generations.  The class systems and hierarchies of this world mean nothing to Christ.  The total...
