Acts 14:19-20
This chapter shows some examples of what incredible pain and suffering the disciples went through in the name of Jesus. Paul was even stoned and thrown outside of the city because they thought he was dead. BUT then He gets up and goes back into the city to preach. Pretty bold move Id say. [...]
Acts 13:49
Reading this chapter I came to the end of it and found a very interesting footnote in my bible for this chapter. The devil doesnt bother to bother some christians like the ones who go along with the crowd or who keep quiet about their relationship with Jesus. The person who doesnt go along [...]
Acts 12:5
This is the epitome of answered prayers. Peter was locked in prison after James had been killed with a sword it says earlier in the chapter. I couldnt even imagine what was going through his mind! I mean its verses like these that get me excited and its what i sometimes miss in [...]
Acts 11:29
This chapter is a recap in a way from a book earlier. In Antioch where the term Christians was started there was a prediction of famine. The desciples helped with the abilities God had given them. I love how this can relate to now. We all have gifts and all can be used. Its [...]
Acts 10:3,10:13
Through out this chapter Cornelius and Peter were given visions and angels appeared to them to lead them where God wanted them to be. Im frustrated that signs this clear arent being shown at this point. Sometimes i wonder where my angel is and why im not being set into trances to see visions [...]
Acts 9:23
Saul. A man who spent his life seeking and killing christians pulled a 180 and began following Christ. This is an amazing story in itself but it doesnt stop there. He not only follows Christ but also begins to spread word about Him. He if forced to sneak in and out of towns in [...]
Acts 8:20-23
Gods gift cant be bought with money. Money will fade away and become dust and air along with everything else in this world. Simon is a huge show boat and thought he could use his money to win the crowd and was scolded horribly for it. Lesson learned. I am a little clueless at [...]
Acts 7:54-60! All of that…
This is an amazing chapter. Its like what every movie ever made that involves martyrdom is based on. Like braveheart only better. Stephen is basicly getting grilled by this group of people and he replies with basicly the whole old testament in a few paragraphs. He ends it with verse 51-53!!! [...]
Acts 6:10
I was tempted to combine 6&7 because of the length of chapter 6. But i decided not to because i was overlooking what was in chapter 6. Stephen who is described as being a man full of God’s grace and power…………. FULL OF God’s GRACE AND POWER. Right there! Hearing that would picture him [...]
Acts 5:38
Leave these men alone! Let them go! With God with you who in the world could be against you? Who? Fighting God would be a one sided victory Im sure.
Lord i pray Help me not lose focus on you. That what ever im doing will be of you and not of me and that [...]
