Acts:16: Discussion Board:
Discuss this passage:
kjv@Acts:16:2 > > RandyP :
The report of trusted others is extremely important. How is such a report made of us if we are not connected. The Lone Ranger approach to ministry is not the approach Timothy pursued. The same could be said of Paul. In his position he had to develop and sustain relationships of confidence with many people enough to trust their recommendations.
kjv@Acts:16:1-15 > > RandyP :
The book of Acts is really about the acts of the Holy Spirit as much as the acts of the Apostles. Here we see the Spirit closing one door and opening another; men doing as they were led. The organization by the Spirit has given them decrees to declare, the men by the Spirit are being directed where to declare. There is both order and authority.
kjv@Acts:16:16-40 > > RandyP :
One spiritual event causes a series of other events. Paul and Silas remained focused on the Spirit through it all and the Spirit moved greatly through them.
