May 24, 2011- Acts 9
Just think, Paul wasn't just like walking home from work or the store. He was on his way to destroy people's lives. He had guys with him too, what happened to them, did any get saved?
Paul was obviously born with the personality needed for the job he was chosen to do. He was fearless and dedicated and brilliant. Just picture him in the beginning of this time, hanging around other disciples and right away going into the synagogues and preaching the gospel. I wonder what that was like? Were people at the synagogues all day or was it at the time of prayer, like a daily thing or was it just on the Sabbath. How did they get audience? Did they yell in from the back door or go right up front and start speaking? Or did they actually stand outside and catch people as they were coming in or going out? What a shock to those high priests when they heard the news that the man who had been there not long before asking to imprison the people had become one of them.
How did Barnabas know that Paul really was a believer now? I does seem he had some knowledge of Paul's preaching in Damascus. So maybe it was word of mouth?
God removed Saul and replaced him with Paul and there was peace for a time. The church grew also , I guess it is not always in times of tribulation that there is growth.
One more new bracelet. This one is a bit strange but it looks better on. I am really getting into this right now, the potential…
I really think this needs a center stud with something sticking out but I am nervous about messing it up, they are quick to make.
