I am wondering. How can we preach to this generation? How do we tell this generation to turn from sin to GOD? Do you know that was John’s message? It was JESUS’ message. It was the Disciples’ message. It was Paul’s message.
It’s Tuesday evening here in LA (Lower Alabama) and I think I have little to say — I just wanted to put something on the page so you would perhaps gain a smile and know that you are in my thoughts and yes my prayers. I am grateful for each of you.
My Daily Prayer Journal has you listed as The White Stone Blog Readers. I list you that way because, well, because I don’t know all your names or even the States and Countries in which you live. Even so, I think of you and remember you before The LORD.
I read Acts 24 today. Paul.
What an amazing brother in Christ we have. I don’t expect to live on the same street as he in the Father’s Eternal City but surely at some time in Eternity we will run into each other and I can thank him for his faithfulness and his love for JESUS and for penning the many letters I so enjoy in this 21st Century.
Yes, my friends, this life we have in JESUS is just this real — When JESUS conquered sin, hell, death, and the grave — He connected His people, even 1st Century brothers, and sisters with 21st Century brothers and sisters. That great CONNECTION is coming to fruition. Yes, a face-to-face gathering that will never end.
So tell me — isn’t that something to look forward to? I think so.
I notice something about Peter (Kefa) in my reading ofActs 3that I appreciate so much. His boldness. So bold to use the word YOU. I’m not bold like Peter. I wonder if I ever will be.
You.
Peter minced no words when he was delivering the sermon recorded for us inActs 3.Not less than 20 times (CJB translation) he says YOU. You know when YOU is necessary we ought to use it, don’t you think?
Why was Peter so bold? Because he loved so greatly, I think AND he was empowered by Holy Spirit.
What would our generations do to a man (or woman) like Peter?
I wonder how many Peter-like men or women there are in the world today?
I wonder how many would preach Acts 3 today?
So, have you readActs 3today? Or another chapter of your choosing?
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
