Acts 14:17. “Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
NOT WITHOUT WITNESS
Does He do it like in those days or is there another way? Then He used men who were more than willing to be used – Today He uses men who God’s will and ways do choose. Then they helped the man who was obviously in need – Today it is the same, when to other’s need, we heed. Then they identified themselves as simply men – Today we also testify no matter where or when. Then they preached to reach the conscience and the heart Today we preach the Gospel which is the same message as at the start. Then they spoke of God and His witness in creation – Today we are called upon to speak of God’s salvation. Then they used points of interest that were common to those people – Today we speak of Christ who looks on all men as equal. So, the message we have to tell is the same as the apostles – May our lives and messages be as living and read epistles.
“Father, I learn from these brethren the value of using everyday opportunities to teach Thy Gospel using everyday illustrations people can easily understand. I am asking Thee to please bring into my mind and heart ways to stress the Gospel message tonight so people will respond now to the Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for them on the cross of Calvary. I pray in His name, Amen."
