Acts 14

God does some pretty amazing stuff in this chapter. It's unfortunate that often when God works, others get the credit. In this chapter, it was the Greek Gods (through Paul and Barnabas). In our world, often it's scientific knowledge and chance. Whenever someone gets healed from a sickness, whenever something amazing happens, we have to find the scientific proof of why and how it happened. Often, the solution is a confluence of external factors and luck. It's so hard to admit that it really was God's hand. Paul and Barnabas are very impressive in this chapter. As soon as the people started to praise them, there was no hesitation in them. They instantly tore their clothes and gave the glory to God. This is something that I need to do more often in my life. A couple of years back, I was walking back from class with a few classmates. I don't remember what we were talking about but suddenly, one of them said, "You know Dennis, I don't know why but you're a very happy person all the time. Why is that?" I had an opportunity here to testify as a witness for God. Here was an opening for me to begin to sow the seeds of the gospel in my classmate's heart. But, I failed to rise to the opportunity. Instead, I mentioned something about me naturally having an optimistic personality (which is completely untrue) or some other untenable excuse. When I got back home, I thought about what had happened and repented. I swore to never let go of another opportunity to stand up for Christ. Paul and Barnabas were willing to stand up for Christ, even to the point of being stoned. But God protected them and continued to bless them throughout their journey. How great He is!

Stand up for Christ today!

Acts 13

I'm a very visual person so I'll begin with a map. In this chapter of Paul's first missionary journey, it covers his trip starting from Antioch, to Salamis, to Paphos, to Perga (in the region of Pampylia), to Antioch (through the region of Pisidia), and it ends with Paul and Barnabas leaving Antioch. The description of Paul's trips always confused me until I realized there were multiple Antioch's. These Greeks apparently weren't the most creative people in the world when it came to naming cities.

From the very start, this was a journey inspired by the Holy Spirit, but using people who were prepared for the mission. The second verse mentions ministering to the Holy Spirit and fasting. This concept of fasting is pretty foreign to me. I read about it all the time in the New Testament, but I really don't know how to apply it. When do you use it? How do you go about doing it? Do you fast for a set amount of time? Or do you go until the Lord answers your prayers? Are you allowed to drink water? I've done it in a few situations in the past but I don't really remember what I was fasting for or how I went about doing it. I think it's something that the Lord will eventually have to reveal to me. All I know is that from this scripture, these people were actively preparing for the journey before the Lord even sent them. I always wonder what mission the Lord is going to send me on. Will He ask me to serve in the hospital? Will He call me out to full time service? Will He send me out as a missionary? But I think the right question I should be asking is how am I preparing right now for wherever the Lord will send me? For Paul and Barnabas, they prepared by ministering and fasting in Antioch. For David, he was prepared by shepherding sheep in his youth. For Moses, God broke him for 40 years so that he would be ready to lead the Israelites. I am confident that if we follow the Lord closely, and continue to allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, He will prepare us for great things. Allow the Lord to prepare you today!

Acts 12

This story of Peter's arrest is first and foremost a testimony to the power of prayer. God is so amazing that sometimes, we can't even believe how He answers our prayers (like the brethren who didn't believe Rhoda). But I think there's a smaller story here with the servant-girl and for some reason, this is the story that jumps out to me today. There has to be a reason why the author of Acts included so many details of this story. In the story, it seemed as though all the brethren were gathered together at the house of Mary and were in the middle of a deep prayer meeting. They were praying fervently with purpose hoping the Lord would protect Peter. Suddenly, in the middle of the prayer meeting, there's a knock at the door. As the servant girl, it is Rhoda's duty to answer the door. But in the midst of such a great and fervent prayer meeting, it could have been all to easy to ignore the knock. Maybe it was someone delivering a message, maybe it was a solicitator. Surely, whoever it was could come back later after we finished this awesome meeting! But Rhoda was faithful in the small duties that were entrusted to her. She went to answer the door, and because of the faithfulness she displayed in the small things, Peter was saved before any guards could find him. God also her worthy enough to be remembered throughout history in the book of Acts. One other thing that Rhoda did that I found impressive was that she held firm to what God showed her. Even though all of the elder brothers and sisters doubted, she did not. She had heard Peter's voice and there was no mistake. I think this shows us that first and foremost, we trust in God. Whatever He has shown us, how ever He has led us, we should hold onto those things first. Even if other people doubt or tell us otherwise, if it was something the God revealed to us Himself, then we should not doubt. Of course, older brothers and sisters are great resources. They have walked with God for much longer and know His character very well. But, they are not our God. It's always better to trust Him than to trust anyone else. Be sure today, in whatever the Lord asks of you, to be faithful to Him in the small things. And He will bless you far beyond your craziest imagination!

Acts 11

I think God's definition of a good man is very different from my own. If I was going to pick people to lead the church and to evangelize to large cities, I would find people who were naturally leaders, empathetic, and eloquent. When interviewing students for Case, it's always the same attributes that I look for: good background knowledge, experience in the medical field, passion for the practice of medicine, good teamwork skills, and not socially awkward. But when God interviews people, He only looks for one thing: love of Christ. When the author of Acts describes Barnabas as a good man, the only traits he mentions are that he was full of the Holy Spirit and full of faith. Anywhere in the New Testament, when they describe people who served God mightily, it never mentions any of their personal skills or attributes, it only talks about their faith in God. In reality, I think this is really the correct measure. When God calls us to serve, He doesn't call us because we're better speakers, more intelligent, or have more skills, He calls us out because we have faith in Him. As a doctor in training, I've been learning a lot of skills in interact and empathizing with people. But when I minister to them, I must remember that I can't use the skills I have developed, but I need to rely on the Lord. Only in this way can I truly heal them, not just body and mind, but also their spirit.

Acts 10

The verse that stands out to me today is verse 15: "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy". For some reason, this verse shows me a revolutionary way God interacts with His creation. In the past, God gave out rules and commandments. It was do this or do that. Don't eat animals that chew the curd or split the hooves or don't do any work on the Sabbath. These seemingly simple commandments can turn into monstrosities when people try to interpret them. What is considered work? How much contact with blood will make you unclean? Throughout the Jewish history, there has been constant changes in the interpretation of His laws. (Feels almost like congress.) But here in Acts, it is evident that God has changed the way He's speaking to us. He no longer gives us written rules or commandments to follow, but we are to follow the commandments in our heart. We no longer have to use our mind and logic to interpret what He's trying to say, rather the Holy Spirit interprets His Words for us. At times, it can be incredibly frustrating. It was especially hard when I was a new believer. After I was baptized and gave my life to God, I felt like there should be some kind of change in my life. So I did the only thing that I knew, I imitated others. Whatever the older brothers and sisters did, I tried to copy. The way they talked, the way they acted, I thought this was how a Christian was suppose to be. From the things I read and the movies I saw, I had this idealized picture of a Christian. They're always happy, always joyful. Never angry, never frustrated, never offends other people. This was the kind of person I aspired to be, and I was constantly disappointed. Try as I might, I still lost my temper, I still felt sadness and frustration. Soon, I almost wanted to give up. There's no way a perfect Christian could exist! Thank goodness that God doesn't demand us to be. What I had wrong was my definition of a Christian. A Christian isn't someone that inspires hope in others, that never criticizes other, that never gets provoked. A Christian is someone who follows God. I was trying to make myself more perfect than even Christ was. Even Jesus Christ was angry when he found people trading in the Temple. He also argued constantly with the Pharisees and many times won. What I did was throw away all the grace and mercy that Christ gave us and picked up the rules and regulations of the Old Testament. Don't get me wrong, often the Lord will want us to be even more perfect than what the law says. In Matt 5, Jesus said that the law may have said you cannot commit adultery, but if you even look at a woman lustfully, you have already committed adultery with her (paraphrased...alittle). But whatever He demands of us, He gives us the strength to complete. It's incredibly liberating. Once again, God shows us how much He wants to have a real relationship with us.

Be liberated today!

Acts 9

I always think of Paul's road to Damascus moment as an amazing conversion, that in one moment God could even make a person with as hard of a heart as Saul convert. But in reality, Paul's road to conversion was much longer than that. Even in past chapters, we can see how God had been preparing Saul for this very moment. First of all, Paul was a student of Gamaliel (from Acts 22). This same Gamaliel was the one who prevented the Jewish counsel from crushing the apostles in Acts 5 and instead said that if this was not the will of God, it would be self-limiting. If it was the will of God, then there's no way man can overthrow it (paraphrasing...alittle). From Gamaliel's teaching, I think Paul had this same attitude. It wasn't the laws, customs, or traditions the he loved, it was God. He would follow God's ruling even if it was against everything he was taught. Second, Saul was present at Stephen's defense in Acts 7. He must've seen the peace and joy on his face even as he was persecuted. I don't care how hard-hearted he was, it must've had some kind of influence. All of these factors made Saul ready so that when God revealed himself, he would be fertile soil.

I know that for myself, I've never had a "Road to Damascus" type of conversion. It was a very slow and uneventful progression for me to realize that God was real and that I wanted Him to be my God. But I think all of us have moments in our lives where God makes Himself real. For Paul, he repeatedly mentions his conversion and experience with God in his later letters to the church. For myself, it was an experience I had with God my freshman year (ask me to share it with you one of these days if I haven't already). But these events are the moments I meditate on every time I begin to lack faith. They remind me about how real God has been in my life. Recently, I've been beginning to realize that there shouldn't only be one or a two of moments in our life that we remember. But God is making himself real to us everyday. There have been countless times when after something happens, I say to myself, "Wow, that was God!" But after a few days, I always forgot what had happened. I remember the emotion and the feeling that God did something, but what it was is hard to recollect. This might be a good time for me to actually start writing a journal to record how He has guided me in my life and how He has answered my prayer requests. It would be a great tool to use when I'm feeling spiritually weak or when I just want to remind myself of how great God is. ...mmm....okay I just convinced myself. It's decided, I'm starting one.

Lastly, I feel like I can relate to Paul a lot. In Paul's future letters, he write that he was the least of the apostles. I think he feels this way because of how he persecuted the church before being saved. I can't say that I've ever killed anyone, but before I was saved, I was a heavy atheist. When I was in school, I constantly argued with my Christian friend pointing out holes in their belief. I feel as though I may have turned more people non-Christian than Christian in my lifetime. This will be something that I'll always regret. I'm glad that by God's grace and mercy, He was able to show me the light. I only wish that I could go back and tell them how right they were, and how wrong I was. No amount of logical deductions or rigorous analysis can compare with the love, joy, comfort, and peace He gives me. Blessed be His name!

Acts 8

Reading through this story, it's easy to criticize Simon and denounce him for being so selfish. Even after he accept the Lord as his savior and was baptized, he still sought after his own gain. Yet, when I read this, I feel like I can relate to Simon a lot. After he was baptized, he continued to followed the apostles and saw the power that they had. He wanted that same power so that he too could act as an apostle. Although I was never skilled enough to get people to pay me for performing fake magic, I still had that same desire to be admired and praised. I will be the first to admit that I have a lot of spiritual pride. When I began service in the church, I was far too young. Leading Bible studies, organizing meetings, planning retreats, I was naturally blessed with many of these abilities and I knew it. I took every opportunity to be deeply ingrained in the ministry. Of course, I had some desire to see the church built and to glorify God, but secretly, I knew that what I wanted even more was admiration. But when serving God, He doesn't look for your natural skills. In 1 Corinthians, Paul says that God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, the weak things of the world to shame the things that are strong. He wants to use people won't rely on themselves but depend solely on the Lord. God taught me this lesson the hard way, through His cross. And by the admonition of His cross, I will never forget this lesson. While back in Seattle, I use to serve the Lord by translating from Chinese to English. Although the first few sessions were very tough, eventually I got into the rhythm. It got so bad that eventually, I didn't even pray before going up to serve. One day, while on the podium, I found myself stumbling at almost every sentence. I kept wondering, what is wrong with me? Maybe it's cause I didn't get enough sleep or maybe it's cause I forgot to eat breakfast. I mean, your brain needs glucose to run efficiently, right? Halfway through the translation, it finally realized that it was because I didn't have the Lord with me. I was relying on my own abilities to serve the church and not the Lord. Afterwards, I got down on my knees and repented. From then on, I always made sure that in all my services for the church, I would really solely on the Lord and he has blessed me ever sense.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, You will not despise.

Acts 7

I always feel alittle confused when I read Stephen's defense. On one hand, I think it's a really good and quick synopsis of the story of the Israelites in the Old Testament. On the other hand, if this was my last speech on earth, I don't know if I would've gone with a history lesson. But the more I read it, the more it kind of made sense to me. The accusation against Stephen was that he was speaking against this holy place and the "aw saying that Jesus will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to the Jews. In response, Stephen begins to elucidate how the Laws and the holy place were established. More importantly, he emphasizes that the things that happened in history weren't just because of the action of men, but rather it was God who did them. In every event, he talks about God's hand. It wasn't Abraham who decided to leave, it was God calling him. It wasn't by chance Joseph was rescued, it was because God was with him. It wasn't because Moses was lucky, but it was God who saw that he was lovely and anointed him to be His prophet. The Jews that were accusing Stephen took the wrong lessons from the history of their nation. Rather than focusing on God's hand and intervention, they focused on the traditions and customs that they had kept.

I feel like I also have the same problem as the Israelites. Often, I focused too much on the outward actions. When I worship the Lord, I sing outloud. When I pray, I include some kind of adoration, confession, and/or thanksgiving. When I read the Bible, I have a whole methodology that I've developed to optimize understanding. These are all good things. Praying, reading the Bible, worshiping, no one will ever tell you to stop doing these things. But if I do these things without the right spirit, then they are all just empty actions. It's not the act that the Lord values, it's the person performing the act (the actor if you must). The times that I have gotten the most out of my Bible reading wasn't from spending hours vigorously analyzing the text, it was when I engaged the Lord first with my spirit, praying the He will allow the Holy Spirit to speak to me through the text. When I was a new believer, I heard the statement, "Christianity isn't a religion, it's a relationship" quite often. The more I walk with the Lord, the more truth I see in that statement. God isn't asking me to do this or that or abstain from this or that, He wants to have an active relationship with me, a relationship of Life.

And because of this truth, Stephen was martyr'd. But I can only image how he felt at those last moments. It doesn't seem like he was in any pain at all. But to be able to behold the awesomeness of the Lord and to see Jesus enthroned at God's right hand, it must have filled him with awe and adoration. I wonder how it must've felt to see him; that even in his last moments when people were persecuting and accusing him, he had such peace that his face shone like an angel, it must've made a strong impression on the onlookers. I'll guess we'll find out how Saul responds. ;-)

Acts 6

The verse that stands out to me the most this time is verse 10. I am impressed by Stephen's confidence in his faith. He's so confident that he was willing to argue with the top philosophers of his day (the Jews) and prevailed. I wish that I too could have that same confidence. A lot of the times, when my non-Christian friends ask me questions about my faith, I always respond very reluctantly. I'm constantly thinking how can I answer this question the best? How can I make a good argument about my faith? All these questions race through my mind as I come up with intelligent answers. Ultimately, I stumble through a haphazard response which makes me look very unsure of what I believe in. But when people argued against Stephen, there was no sense of doubt. He trusted in his faith and responded with wisdom from the Holy Spirit. Someone once told that we should be confident in what we believe in because it makes sense. The more I think about it, the more truth I find in that statement. From the cumulation of all of our experiences in the Lord, from His answered prayers, the peace and comfort He provides, the one logical conclusion is that God is real. It's our spiritually intelligent deduction.

Make your logical conclusion today ;-)

Acts 5

I always dreaded coming to this chapter when teaching Sunday school or leading Bible studies. The first part with Ananias and Sapphira reminded me a lot of the Old Testament God who was full of wrath and smited people left and right for sinning (see Numbers 16). But the more I study this chapter, the more it reminds me of God's grace to me. Here's my perspective on what's happening (keep in mind I have no idea if this is the "right" interpretation).

From earlier chapters, we can see that this early church was in a state where the presence of the Holy Spirit was great. By the power of the Holy Spirit, they were healing the sick, performing miracles, and spreading His gospel with power. Many of the believers would offer up all they had and trusted their lives to the Lord knowing that He would provide for them. There's no indication that this was a command from the apostles but it seems more like these people were compelled by the Holy Spirit to give up their possessions. In the end of the last chapter, Barnabas is recorded as giving up his land and giving all the proceeds to the church. Later on, he is used greatly by the Lord (more to follow!). But in this chapter, there's two people who conspired together to pretend to give their all but retain some of the money for their own use. I think what Ananias and Sapphira were looking for was the respect and honor of the community. In verse 3, it says that Satan filled their hearts to lie to the Holy Spirit. With Barnabas, the motivation was to glorify the Holy Spirit, with Ananias and Sapphira, it seems like the motivation was to glorify themselves. Their punishment by God speaks to me about how much the Lord treasures purity in His church. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the first time Acts records any sin in the church and at that time, the Lord was working mightily in His church. Along with the miracles and acts of wonder, also came the justice of His righteousness. I know that for myself, I have lied to the Lord and to myself often. There have been times when even when I was spiritually distant from God, yet I still tried to continue my services. When this happens, it wasn't love of the Lord and His church that motivated me, it was saving my own face. I didn't want the embarrassment of other people knowing I was unfit for service. Why did He not strike me down? I don't know but I know that judgment belongs to the Lord. By His grace, He gave me time and opportunity to repent and hopefully correct my mistakes. I really thank the Lord for giving me time. I can only hope that I may use the time and opportunities that He's given me to live without regret.

In the end, we can see that at the conclusion of this situation, we see that the Lord caused great fear to come over the whole church. In Greek, the same word used for "fear" here, was used as "awe" in Acts 2:43. I think Solomon was right in Proverbs 1, the fear of the Lord really is the beginning of all wisdom. I think my problem is I don't fear Him enough and still believe that I can get away with things without Him knowing. But if my God is the God who created the universe, how could I ever thing to hide anything from Him? My goal for today, is to live honestly before the Lord without regret.

Acts 4

For some reason, I really like verse 11. I think it has to do with my love of history and engineering. In the past, when people built buildings or monuments, they would often get the stone they needed from quarries. At these quarries, workers would chisel out pieces of the rock to be used as building blocks. A builder would then go through and assess the blocks. If the blocks were of the right quality, size, and shape, they would give their stamp of approval and the blocks would be further finished before being used in the building. If the stone had any defects or was not the right shape or size, it would be rejected and either dumped to the side or used for a lesser role. Now to use this rejected stone as the corner stone would be an engineering disaster. The cornerstone is the very first stone the builders put down. It defines the origin of the building as well as the two planes of the walls. If the block was cut incorrectly or did not have a perfectly 90 degrees angle, the building would be a nightmare. It is only appropriate that on this perfect stone of Jesus which the rest of the world reject, would the Lord begin to build His church.

The threats Peter and John received reminded me of last night's Bible study on joy. I really like their response to the oppression. When the Sanhedron told them that they would release them only if they would stop preaching, it had the complete opposite effect. Rather than causing them to cease spreading the word, Peter and John went back to their companions and rejoiced! A few years ago, I was spreading invitation cards on campus for a gospel meeting that my church was hosting. We had mounted some posters with a bunch of invitation cards for people to take on one of the bulletin boards and a few of us were passing out cards outside. While I was out there, I saw a person take all the invitation cards on the bulletin board and throw them in the trash. Now normally, I'm a very apprehensive person. Whenever someone disagrees with me, I usually concede and go with their way. But for some reason, when I saw that happen, I became even more bold in my faith and witnessed with even more fervency. It wasn't anger or wraith or vengeance that drove me, it was plain unadulterated passion for the Lord. I don't remember if I was successful at all at getting people to come, but I do know that when I worked for the Lord that day, He worked in me. For some reason, whenever I do something that attracts attacks from the Enemy, my faith in the Lord increases. It's true what Chuck said last night, there is a lot of joy to be taken out of tribulations. I only hope that my faith and joy in Him will always grow and never decrease.

Acts 3

A while back, I had a discussion with some friends about the five languages of love (don't ask why). They are of course affirmation, acts of service, quality time, physical touch and gifts. I am an occasional gift giver. It's not high in my list of ways to express love, but for the people I consider my closest friends (and family), I will give them gifts. The worst part is trying to figure out what to give them. It may take me many days and many trips agonizing over the perfect gift, and ultimately, I buy a completely random item that they throw in a corner and never use. As you can see, I'm a very bad gift giver.

However Peter and John are amazing gift givers. They too saw a chance to show love to this beggar and gave him the greatest give of all. Yes he needed money, food, shelter, everything, but even more so, he needed Christ. With Christ came His life changing healing power and joy beyond comprehension. Yet, for myself, despite how much I love my friends, I still give them inane and useless trinkets instead of the one gift they really need. Whether it be my own shyness/awkwardness/lack of good judgment, I'm full of bad excuses. If I truly loved my friends, I would want to see them saved. It's odd, when I use to be involved in campus ministries, I had very little problem walking up to a complete stranger and asking them if they know about Christ. Yet, when I talk with my non-Christian friends, breaching that question of religion is among the hardest things I have ever had to do. What always pulls me over the hurdle is telling myself what a tragedy it would be, if by my hesitancy, my friend's salvation would be delayed. What if at this moment, God wanted to use me to spread His gospel, yet I failed to respond to the call? How greedy of a person would I be if I have experienced all the goodness of Christ, yet did not share it with the people I care about. If I love them enough to afflict myself with hours of searching for the right gift, then why not use that same investment of time to pray for them and hopefully give the greatest gift they can receive. And with that amazing gift of Christ, comes that life changing healing power of all their needs. This chapter reminds me to be generous and bold in my faith.

Have a faith-filled day!

Acts 2

A bit of the history of the Pentecost: the Pentecost is the Hellenistic Jew's name for the Feast of the Weeks (or Feast of the Harvest). It's one of the 3 feasts that every year, all the males had to appear before the Lord (Exodus 23:14-19, the other two being the Passover and the Feast of the Booths). It occurred 50 days after the Passover (hence the name pentecost) and marked the beginning of the wheat harvest. On this day, the Israelites were suppose to rest from their work and offer 2 loaves of bread (plus 7 lambs, 1 bull, 2 rams, a goat for a sin offering, and 2 lambs for a peace offering).It was suppose to be a reminder to all the Israelites the the Harvest belongs to the Lord.

Very appropriately, the day that the Holy Spirit descended coincided with the day of the beginning of the wheat harvest. From this chapter, it is evident that the harvest was ready. On the day that the Holy Spirit descends, 3000 people were saved, and more were being added everyday! Sometimes, I feel jealous for the people who lived back in the time of the apostles. I hear their stories, about their amazing feats and the awe, the wonders, and the signs that were taking place and I really wish that I too could experience those. But has the Holy Spirit changed? Has the presence of the Lord been reduced? Not at all. I am reminded that the same Holy Spirit that came down like a violent rushing wind also dwells in me as well. For me, whenever I begin to fall into a routine, I start to become numb to the Lord's presence in my life. Everyday is just wake up, go to class, study, eat, sleep. There doesn't seem to be anything amazing happening. I think the reason I don't see anything is that I'm not looking for it. I've become so focused on the plans and activities I have set out for my day, that I don't see how the Lord is moving in my life. How can I begin to be awed by the Lord in my day-to-day life? I think the apostles gave us a very simple answer; (v. 42) continually devoting themselves to apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. I'm confident that if I have those four elements in my life, I too can experience what it feels like to feel a sense of awe and see many wonders and signs take place.

Have an awe-inspiring day!

Acts 1

Some thoughts for the day:

I always find it interesting when I find the names of the people in the Bible. In this case, the author (who most identify as Luke), seems to be writing to Theophilus. Who this person, I have no idea, and I don't think he's ever mentioned in any other book of the Bible. But, many times, you can deduce a lot of meaning by breaking the name down to the roots. Theo in Greek means God. Phil or philo means Love. Combining these two, it seems as though Luke is writing to those who Love God. Very appropriate!

I was telling somone that I really like the book of Acts. I think the reason is that it is more or less a continuation of the Gospels. The formal name of the book is the "Acts of the Apostles" and in many ways, this is very true. The majority of Acts is documenting the actions and adventures of the apostles after Jesus ascends. However, when I dig deeper, I really think that it's much more than that. There's an invisible hand that is pushing and guiding the apostles even from the very start. It's even evident in this first chapter when they try to decide who should take Judas's spot. It's really the Holy Spirit that is guiding the apostles and His church. Looking at the gospels, they more or less could be called the Acts of Jesus. Then the book of Acts can really be renamed the Acts of the Holy Spirit. I feel like Acts shows us how the Holy Spirit builds His church on Earth and just as important, what purpose the Holy Spirit has for the church. With this perspective, then the book of Acts shouldn't end at chapter 28 (with Paul under house arrest in Rome). We are continuing to write the Book of Acts today and with every day, we add another chapter!

Don't forget to add yours today!
