I just got done reading Acts last night. It was kind of like a good book that I didn't want to end. Now I don’t know what to do. When I was done I set my bible down and looked around kind of lost. To be honest, the Bible has never been that way for me...I never used to understand people who just couldn't wait to read their Bible, I would have moments where it really stuck a nerve, but in general it was kind of a chore. Acts was seriously amazing. Reading this stuf f and then thinking, wow, that actual l y happend. Paul was actually in jail for years for spreading the truth. He actually got flogged like 4 t imes in the same chapter. Woah...

the gospel according to . . .Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you.

1 corinthians 1:26

the gospel according to . . .Instead, God chose things the world considers fool-ish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.

1 corinthians 1:27-29

gifts

the gospel according to . . .In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

the gospel according to . . .“If you’re exhilarated when guilty people get what they deserve, you value justice. (If you feel better when they don’t get what they deserve, you’re more motivated by mercy.) If you’re crazy about arranging flowers, beauty is probably a core value. If you love cats, you have no core values at all.”

the gospel according to . . .After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king’s son. There was an immediate bond of love between them, and they became the best of friends.
