Acts

This time around, the Holy Spirit taught me through the book of Acts the importance of being proactive in contrast to just reactive. As Peter stepped out after having denied Christ thrice and spoke to the crowd, so likewise I need to act upon the knowledge and experiences having been revealed to me, regardless of past circumstances. Bitterness and a mind stagnate in the past shall only hinder one from action; however, a willingness to learn shall only assist in the furtherance of the gospel. As in Acts 5:12-16, I know not whom is observing my life, hence my actions must not speak or affirm Thomas Peek but the Jesus Christ. It is not about us, it is about the reconciliation between God and His beloved creation. And how is it that others might be reconciled lest the gospel is to them spoken in deed and in truth through actions and words? I am a child of God,a Christian, with the given responsibility to extend truth to the world… light amongst darkness. I can not be a poor steward, selfishly hoarding the Word for myself or own gain. For God so loved the world, He wants everyone as Acts 8:14-17 clearly affirms.
