Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of god, and the name of Jesus christ, they were babtized, both men and women. Through a prophets words we see that men and women were babtized. Our own belief and faith become a personal choice in receiving the apostles preaching on God's kingdom through his son Jesus Christ. We can then uphold to our covenants that we made at babtism. Let alone these were also Samaritan women. A racially by product from the kingdom of the North Jews and people of pagan belief. They believed in and taught of their core father's of Jacob's well. Yet they were an outcast given now an opportunity of having the blessings. As Philip preached among the Samarians they had miracles come forth. The more they believed in Christ the more people followed and were babtized in his name sake. He preached to them that concerned the kingdom of god. How can us believing in the preaching on the kingdom of God bring us to kn...

Acts22:4 And I persecuted this way into the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. Saul(Paul) was a Jew but he was also a Roman giving him a path to people's home. During a time period in his life he persecuted the newly saints hauling men and women off. The idea that he persecuted the church so much to destroy the believers hearts. Even today in countries around the world we find people in churches. Even in Sauls time when he was coming after them they still held fast to their faith.  Could we risk everything to process and hold strong that faith in christ? Could you even put your family above all to proclaim the faith? Could we remember the scripture from 1 Peter 3: 13-17 even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness,....  sanctify the Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you...... Mathew 10:22 state that man will be hated for his namesake but those that...

Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and taking men and women committed them to prison. Have you ever felt persecuted for your beliefs or the church you belong to? Here we find Saul persecuting the new members of Christianity. There beliefs were questionable and many did not want to believe that Christ has finally come and was resurrected. The old covenants of the old testament had been fulfilled with a change to adding into the New covenants now. Moses law had now passed it way to bringing a new life and more to hope into in the New Testament. What did that mean for the beginning of the New church and these women that became imprisoned. They needed to holdfast to God's word and even when persecuted follow his will. That meant they stood strong even when days were tough and tribulation aspired. Many times we feel that living God's word becomes hard even pick and choose what we want to live. How can we truly believe one thing is right a...
