Book - Acts

People may argue with your theology, your church, your beliefs, but they cannot argue with your personal experience with Jesus Christ. Your testimony - how you came to faith in Christ. That is your salvation experience: what your life was like BEFORE you followed Jesus; how you came to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and what you life is like AFTER He saved you and entered into your heart.

We learn so much from Apollos. A highly talented man, who was "mighty in the scriptures". He had it all: intelligence, speaking ability, charisma, persuasiveness, great background, great education. That is not what made him great - it was his teachableness! He was humble, He did not let pride interfere with receiving further instruction. His greatness came from his teachableness!

It's pretty amazing to see all the various reactions to preaching Jesus resurrection from the dead! It's powerful because if He is alive that means His Word is Truth! And, we will one day be accountable to Him for our lives! So, when people heard it in Acts 17 they either rioted, caused division, some procrastinated, some investigated, some rejected, and some believed. Wow - Jesus is a very polarizing figure! I choose to bow my knee and believe for He is Risen Indeed!

There was holiness in the lives of the believers in the early church which was evidenced by the tremendous miraculous power they demonstrated! The Holy Spirit was manifesting His presence in powerful ways that gave witness to the resurrection of Jesus from dead. I wonder if the lack of purity in the church is the reason why there is a lack of power in the church? Lord help us, Lord forgive us!
