Be on alert!
Just reading in Mark at the end of Jesus' life, my focus was drawn to Peter. A man with a good heart, with an undeniable devotion to Jesus. But he fell asleep when Jesus asked him to "keep watch" (Mark…

Suffer
Interesting how Paul's ministry speaks on suffering (2 Cor. 6:4, 11:23-27) for Christ and it seems that this is the introduction from God.

Stephan the Strong
Reading this chapter makes you wonder if Stephan knew he was going to die and just put it all out on the table? He preached a cutting and convicting word, so much so that it cut quick to their heart and…

Deal quickly with evil deeds!
I find it interesting that evil deeds should be dealt with quickly because if not it could effect the hearts of those around the person doing the deed to do evil themselves. Just an interesting thought…

Every Man!
EVERY man was to give as he is able, according to the blessing the Lord had given him. In vs. 16 is states that no man shall appear empty handed. This was during the Feast of Booths, Unleavened Bread,…

Obey God rather than man!
They were ordered not to teach in Jesus' name! Like they would be able to do that... teach about Jesus without referring to him. I love Peter's response. " I would rather obey God, than to obey man".…

Committed Themselves
I love this, after they changed their lives, repented and were baptized. They committed themselves to the teaching of the Apostles, prayer and fellowship with their brothers. "Committed" This turns into…

Buck Naked!
Just another reminder of how God does not care about what we have. Whether it's money, clothes, what kind of house or care we drive, He doesn't care! I know that it's easier said than done, but why should…

Bless You!
After Thomas touched Jesus and believed it was Him, Jesus said you have seen me and been with me. But blessed be the ones who believe that have never seen me. So bless you!

Let's go home?
After 3 days of Jesus being dead, they hear the tomb is empty, they run to see that it is so and then they return to their own homes? Even though it says in the verse before that they did not know scripture,…

Man Pleaser
Pilate saw no wrong in Jesus and actually wanted to let Him go. But instead, pilate was afraid of what people would do to him. Serving to please man will get you nowhere quick.

True Disciples
Verse 1-5 is a powerful prayer of Him saying His work here is done and He also knew that by the reflection of Jesus in His disciples. He gave the words to the disciples as God gave them to Him and the…

What Profit?
You can labor and labor, but what does that truly profit? I can't make myself happy! There is nothing I can do, or attain that will satisfy me, truly.

Before the law was laid down God reminded them that who He was and what He had done for them. I would venture to say that while the Israelites were in Egypt, they went through the motions of a relationship…

Bad temper = No protection
A city with no walls is a city with no protection. Anyone can attack, anyone can come in and live, control and take over. All because the wall of protection is not there. Free reign. That makes me think…
