Jesus Can Bury Disagreements!

Today’s Feast Jan. 24, 2016 – Acts 16 Jesus Can Bury Disagreements!  clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in Acts Chapter 16; “Paul takes Timothy to be his assistant. (1-5) Paul proceeds to Macedonia, The conversion of Lydia. (6-15) An evil spirit cast out, Paul and Silas scourged and imprisoned. (16-24) The conversion of the jailer at Philippi. (25-34)Paul and Silas released. (35-40)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Concerning God’s instruction to the Jews, the Pharisees, raise the questions of the laws. The apostles and the elders hold council at Jerusalem. The letter from the council, states because they are saved by faith the gentiles would do well to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and that which was strangled, and from sexual immorality. In dispute, Paul and Barnabas separate. “36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark. 38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39 And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.” Acts 15:36-41, ESV. Paul and Barnabas were quick to return to service for God, in spite of the dispute. Paul continues to speak with care and affection for both Barnabas and Mark, in his epistles, written after the incident. If we profess our love for our God and Savior, that love, soon forgets and buries disagreements among believers. “[A New Prophet like Moses] “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—” Deuteronomy 18:15, ESV. We serve God not man, be alert for God’s instruction. Hold all things up to the light that is God’s Word. Continue to keep the first thing first, that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Be sure that what you and those you associate with, do in Jesus name truly glorifies God! If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at;  mike@admenu.com Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.  Click this link for more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .  God Bless You, Brother Mike Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com ….................the small print................................
