OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
SPEAKING OF FAITH: One’s testimony can ignite a revival
Paul and Silas are walking the land. They’re doing the work that they were called to do, watching over the the flock and planting churches. They were also setting demon possessed people free. That’s what actually gets them into trouble.
COMMENTARY: All over the road
I don’t like sloppy drivers. I confess that from time to time, I am a sloppy driver too. But I do my best to not be one. But carelessness will hit you in the moments when you are most relaxed or distracted.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: The remedy is to rest in God
What is the remedy for the breaking of chains? For the breaking out of stagnant routines? Is it prayers? Does one get up and try to continue anyway? Is it fasting? We need a revival of hearts and we need to be “hungry” for His purpose in our lives.
