Acts (Entry 2)

I mentioned in the last post: I can’t help but feel sorry for Paul. Just like Joseph in Genesis, he’s left to sit and rot in prison. A man of tremendous accomplishment, with much more potential and talent to reach the masses, is sitting still in shackles. This situation reminds me of Nelson Mandela orContinue reading “Acts (Entry 2)”

Acts (Entry 1)

Jeremiah 37

Can you imagine being put in prison? In a dungeon? In solitary confinement? For speaking truth.
