Words of Truth and Reason. Acts 26:24-32

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

The Gospel is completely rational, but to its detractors it seems irrational! The message of the Cross is foolishness to this world but to those having believed it is the power of God unto salvation I Corinthians 1:18-25, Acts 26:25.

Paul was given the ability to relate to diverse groups and cultures enabling him to share the gospel with them. However when doing so he never deviated from its message which had been given him directly by God 26:16 what he preached had been spoken beforehand by God’s prophets 26:22.

Governor Festus reacted loudly to Paul’s claim that Christ was alive! many today react in a similar way. But like Paul, rather than pacifying them by watering down the Gospel, which incidentally is no gospel at all! We must stick to the truth if we want to save ourselves and our hearers also 25:26 and 1 Timothy 4:16.

A verse to remember

But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason. Acts 26:25 N.K.J.V.

True Riches. 1 Timothy chapter 6.

Pause for thought

Christians should avoid overfamiliarity with fellow believers, especially in the employee/employer relationship 6:1-2.

Paul makes it pretty clear to Timothy and to everyone who reads his letter that some so called teachers are in it for the money! They can be identified by their novel teaching that conflicts with the teaching of Jesus Christ. Don’t argue with them simply run from them! 6:11

Money doesn’t bring happiness! Some rich people seem never to be satisfied in their quest for more, they can easily get caught in the devils trap that leads to ruin. Riches only last for a season but heavenly treasures last forever. “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth or rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” Matthew 6:20-21

Fight the good fight with all thy might, Christ is thy Strength and Christ thy right; Lay hold on Life, and it shall be thy joy and crown eternally. J.S.B.Monsell. 6:19.

A verse to remember

Fight the good fight of faith for what we believe. Hold tightly to the eternal life that God has given you, which you have confessed so well before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 N.L.T.
