Acts 26:12-31 Fearless Persuasion in Sharing the Gospel
The next preparation for the Lord’s minister was that he should be encouraged. The Lord Jesus said to him, “Rise, and stand upon your feet.” As much as to say—“You are forgiven, you are chosen, you are beloved—therefore lie no longer prostrate, overwhelmed with fear. Give not way to despondency. Resign yourself into My hands and […]
Partner Update – North Africa
As most of you may know, we are partnering with friends in North Africa. For the preservation of their work, we will refer to them as John and Melissa. In the next week, we have a team traveling to help our friends with their work there. While we often have member updates on the blog, […]
Acts 25:23-26:11 Jesus Resurrection is the Fulfillment of All Scripture
The Jews accused the Christians of having apostatized from the tolerated faith; it was Paul’s business, therefore, to refute this accusation — to prove that in accepting Christ he did not renounce Moses, and so make good his claim to the protection of the government under existing laws. Thus, the form which the question that day […]

Acts 25:1-22 God’s Use of Unlikely Circumstances to Accomplish His Purposes
I wonder if it ever occurs to you…if you’re ever tempted to think that God’s providence is inefficient; that somehow or another what has occurred here to the Apostle Paul can’t surely be “Plan A.” It must surely be “Plan B” or “Plan C” that the most gifted apostle, the most erudite preacher, a man […]
Luke 10:38-42 When Busyness Keeps You From the Feet of Jesus
There will always be plenty of work to do. The work set before us will never totally be done. We will work all our days and when we die, the work will continue after we are gone. We are right to work and work hard doing what God has given us to do. But work […]
Personal Testimony – Denise and Xy Campbell
I was humbled with an unplanned pregnancy. The experience left me with a tremendous amount of difficulty where I became emotionally, physically and financially uncertain. This was a pain I thought I deserved for not being obedient to God. The pressure of this pregnancy and my thoughts fighting against each other brought me to the […]
Acts 23:12-24:27 Paul’s Second Defense
Even in an oration, whose direct object was the demonstration of his own innocence and the preservation of his own life, Paul contrives incidentally to indulge his ruling passion — that is, to commend the gospel of Christ, He carefully points out that the. belief of the gospel is not the rejection of the Mosaic system, […]
Acts 22:22-23:11 Christ’s Promise in the Midst of Trial
The promise in form is a promise of continued testimony-bearing; in its substance, one might say, it is a promise of continued life. Paul is cheered, not by being told that the wrath of the enemy will launch itself at his head in vain, and that he will bear a charmed life through it all, […]
