    Luke’s, trade or occupation was that of a physician. The book of Acts is a sequel to the three gospel’s, Matthew, Mark, and John. Acts within its text captures the “action” of the gospel’s ministry. I am fond of the book of “Acts” or “Acts of the Apostles” because it gives comprehensive accounts of their activities, and accomplishments. I agree with Jensen when he stated that “Acts was designed by God to complete…

    What’s one of the greatest examples of something horrible a sociopath can do? Throw a young boy into a wall after already torturing him. Then continuing to torture him more afterwards. Taunting him, trying to break him down until his entire being is but a lifeless doll. Yeah, that sounds like a good example. “Oh how time flies by when you’re having fun!” “Not everyone has the same type of fun, Paul.”Blood was splattered across the ground.

There are many thoughts and ideas regarding this reference of Scripture and often times, it is taken out of its context. The Apostle James had much to say to the "dispersed" regarding their walk as disciples of Christ, much of which is relevant for Christians until this day; via the Holy Spirit, James rebuked, encouraged, and admonished Christians to live out the Word of God…

    The Lord had completely changed the life of Apostle Paul. Paul used to persecute the church. Then, God opened his eyes and revealed the truth of Christ to him. He took Paul’s education and gift of rhetoric for the advancement of His church. Part of God’s plan for Paul was Paul’s stay in Athens, a city of intellectualism and paganism. Here, Paul was “greatly distressed” by the number of idols around him. He tried to reason with the locals, to show them the same Truth that had been revealed to him…

He claimed to have had undertaken a revelation from God and discovered God as the truth he was missing. “If I build up again the very things that I once tore down, then I…
