Well the reading for today is quite short. Luke recounts Paul and Barnabas' time in Iconium. Again the results of their preaching is great. Luke tells his readers that a "great number of Jews and Greeks became believers." Now while good things happen, there again is a group who are not happy with what's going on. Luke tells how these folks try to "mistreat" and stone Paul and Barnabas. Fortunately, though Paul and Barnabas escape and move on. I seem to be noticing a pattern in the book of Acts. There seem to be at every turn people who fail to see the work and activity of God in their midst.,Obviously, the folks intending to stone Paul and Barnabas fail miserably at seeing how God might be working in their midst. I wonder how often I fail to see the work of God all around me. Perhaps, each day before our feet hit the floor, we should simply ask for eyes to see what God sees, so that we might better be able to see the work of Christ in the world about us.
It has come to our attention that folks continue to have trouble posting comments. There are a couple of ways to do get your comment to post. First, under the Post a comment box make a selection from the drop down box "Comment As" The easiest way to do this is to choose to do so "anonymously" or choose "name/url." If you choose the latter, simply type your name into the box. The URL box can be left blank. After this, type your comment then hit publish. Your comment should be published. Sorry about the difficulty.
