"Jesus told the church to go into all the world; yet they remained comfortable in a thriving Jerusalem church. What Jesus had told the church to do willingly (scatter, spread the message) had not been done. So, God used this persecution to accomplish His will. It's easier to obey God than to have to wait until He forces your hand. Sometimes God has to send trouble in order to get us to obey Him."

Pastor Ron: "This is an important, indispensable book. Without it none of the books that follow would make much sense. We would not, for example, know who Paul was! Without this book the Apostle Paul's writings, nearly two-thirds of the NT, would be meaningless! We would have the gospels and a bunch of other stuff we could not understand."

Pastor Ron: "We can do nothing good without power from God. God has given His burning-Spirit to all who are His, and many of us are in the practice of snuffing out the fire every day! We snuff out the fire of God by disobedience, by unwillingness to surrender our will to His, and through compromise with the world."
