Today’s Feast
Jan. 24,
2016 – Acts 16
Jesus Can Bury Disagreements!
Please join with us sharing God’s Word
daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every
word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to
all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Thank you for
joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in Acts Chapter 16; “Paul takes Timothy to be his assistant. (1-5) Paul
proceeds to Macedonia, The conversion of Lydia. (6-15) An
evil spirit cast out, Paul and Silas scourged and imprisoned. (16-24) The
conversion of the jailer at Philippi. (25-34)Paul
and Silas released. (35-40)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise.
Concerning
God’s instruction to the Jews, the Pharisees, raise the questions of the
laws. The apostles and the elders hold council at Jerusalem. The letter from
the council, states because they are saved by faith the gentiles would do
well to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and that
which was strangled, and from sexual immorality. In dispute, Paul and
Barnabas separate. “36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and
visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord,
and see how they are.” 37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called
Mark. 38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn
from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39 And there arose
a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took
Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and
departed, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.”
Acts
15:36-41, ESV. Paul and Barnabas were quick to return to service for God,
in spite of the dispute. Paul
continues to speak with care and affection for both Barnabas and Mark, in his
epistles, written after the incident. If we profess our love for our God and
Savior, that love, soon forgets and buries disagreements among believers. “[A
New Prophet like Moses] “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet
like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—”
Deuteronomy
18:15, ESV. We serve God not man, be alert for God’s instruction. Hold
all things up to the light that is God’s Word. Continue to keep the first thing first, that is
salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Be sure that what you and those you
associate with, do in Jesus name truly glorifies God! If the Lord is
willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow
You’ll find the
praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html. Prayer request or Praise reports can be
sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com
Don’t get
caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends
completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in
full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every
Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels
of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are
building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to
change anything. Click this link for
