Acts 4 Thoughts

The Church in the US is facing an unfriendly situation. However, it's not nearly as unfriendly as what the Church in Acts faced. Here was their request to God:

Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Church in America should be praying!

Acts 3 Thoughts

The lame man expected money. He got healed instead. What does God want to do for us that we are not expecting?

Acts 2 Thoughts

It's interesting that in Chapter 2, Luke mentions Peter standing up with the eleven not the twelve.

Acts 1 Thoughts

In Acts 1:8, Jesus answers the question the disciples should have asked.

Did the disciples do the right or wrong thing in selecting Matthias? The answer doesn't matter.
Do we really believe God’s purposes are achieved only when we do the “right” thing? Then we are wrong, dead wrong!
