Acts 10: A New Direction

Well yesterday got out ahead of me and I apologize for not posting. But that is life.  The Challenge is really about keeping moving and not worrying about missing a day her or there.  Keep up the good work, I am certain  that God is moving whenever you pick up your bibles.

So we've come to chapter ten and the story seems to be shifting in a new direction.   No longer is God's spirit moving exclusively in the Jewish community, but is now beginning to work among the  non Jews, the Gentiles. In this chapter we find Peter challenged by a dream to accept the uncircumcised, the unclean Gentiles into the fold.  The chapter ends with the coming of God's spirit upon many Gentiles which ultimately leads to their conversions and baptisms.  The gospel and God's spirit has taken a turn and is now moving out toward the ends of the earth.

As I think about the Spirit's movement in  today's world,  where  is the spirit working outside of our churches? Who are the non church goers that God is drawing into relationship?
