Some have said that it should have been called: “The Acts of the Holy Spirit.” Still some have said that it would be equally proper if it carried the title: “Acts of the Disciples”. I would not object if it was called: The Holy Spirit Unleashed! What we see in this Book is the ministeringContinue reading “APOSTLES IN ACTION”

VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS
Though the going was rough, they were resting on the promises that Jesus had made concerning the follow up to His crucifixion, and then the resurrection and ascension. While there may not be the violence of that hour, but it remains a stigma if a Jew converts to Christianity. We must realize that selected vocabularyContinue reading “VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS”
PREACHING – PRAYER
We write often concerning prayer! This has been a challenge for me since day one after becoming a Christian. I confess that I have struggled to keep my prayer life up to what I think it should be. I read much on the subject and feel a little envious of the pastors that have demonstratedContinue reading “PREACHING – PRAYER”
VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS
The Book of Acts is filled with the victories that the disciples of Jesus experienced as they presented Christ to a basically Jewish audience. Though the going was rough, they were resting on the promises that Jesus had made concerning the follow up to His crucifixion, and then the resurrection and ascension. While there mayContinue reading “VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS”
ADDING/SCATTERING
A large portion of my growing up days was in a house attached to a Lighthouse. It made for interesting times. Perhaps the most exciting of times, when a hurricane would “invade” the Island! To describe all of the times would be unnecessary, because there was much that was alike, but not always. The winds,Continue reading “ADDING/SCATTERING”
GOD’S INTERVENTION
In these days when the corona-virus is raking our country and the world, there is a light here and there that becomes a testimony to the GRACE of GOD! It is not the many that are healed, as much as the attitude toward their experience. Some confidently faced death with the assurance of their salvation. Continue reading “GOD’S INTERVENTION”
SAUL … IN AGREEMENT
How long does one hold something over another person’s head? You are in a conversation, in a group more-so, and a name is mentioned, someone quickly inserts an incident that took place or was supposed to have taken place thirty years previously. It may be an insinuation with no accuracy, and yet the expression onContinue reading “SAUL … IN AGREEMENT”
A MONOLOGUE OR A SERMON
It has to be an opportunity to present the Gospel when a preacher gets behind the pulpit. I sometimes sensed that the congregation might have felt that it was a monologue rather than a sermon; hopefully that was not the case, realizing that circumstances might have brought you together at an inopportune moment. Who knows?Continue reading “A MONOLOGUE OR A SERMON”
SAUL TO PAUL
Over the years I have been called some interesting names, but let’s face it, I remain the same person that my parents named me. That name Edward could have come from a great grand-father who was gored to death by a bull, or possibly an uncle who fell on the job, gained gangrene in hisContinue reading “SAUL TO PAUL”
DEACONS
Various churches, denominations, have a structured organization that consists of Pastors, Elders, Deacons, and an assortment of titles that lend itself to their particular function. Some pastors have no trouble adjusting to these structures; while for others there is the necessity of sticking as close as possible to words utilized in the Scriptures or theirContinue reading “DEACONS”
