Faith In Action

The Lord has stirred my "quiet" time lately with the book of Acts. Wowzer. It's not like I haven't read it many times before, but this time through, I'm sitting on the edge of my chair and biting my fingernails as I turn each page.

Acts is better than Law 'n Order, CSI or even Touched by An Angel. (Are you giggling)? It's got it all. Miracles, wonders, action, drama, greed, relationships, conflict, suspense. And especially, faith in action produced by Holy-Spirit filled living.

Want to know what it looks like to live by faith in the Son of God? Want to understand how to share the gospel of grace as you go through each day? Want a better understanding of the powerful, faithful, energetic working of the Holy Spirit in and through you?

Then read Acts. Read it out loud. Read it to your kids or nieces or nephews (or moms and dads if you're a kid). Study commentaries on the passages that don't make sense to you. Pray over each story and ask the Lord to teach you something that can help you at work, at home or in your relationships.

Acts is Faith in Action. Would love to hear your stories about what you learn as you read through it...so don't hesitate to come back to this post and share them.
