Suffering Worthy

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

-
Acts 5:41 -

Not all "sufferers" are created equal. Everyone suffers, but not everyone is counted worthy to suffer for Christ.

What a joy this honor brings to His people.


Love,
Your servant

Only Jesus

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
- Acts 4:12 -

Salvation can only be found in Jesus because in Him only is where salvation is. Simple. Nothing narrow-minded about that.

I lost my keys one time. I left them with someone. It was a great relief when I remembered the one particular person with whom I left my keys. I looked hard; I looked at so many spots, but I only found them where they were. And this is true with anything you're looking for: you only find them where they are. No one will think it's a narrow-minded concept.

Stop looking anywhere else; salvation is found only where it is, rather, in Whom it is.

For the saved: never doubt the surety of the soleness of the Savior.


Love,
Your servant

Hang-Out

Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

The early church didn't just spend time together, they had their time well spent together.

This is a great tip on how we can make our "hang-out" time fuller.


Love,
Your servant
