The storm we are going through is having a different impact depending upon the kind of foundation an individual already has in God's Word and in relationship with God. So there's a call to base our life on God's Word.

Sometimes we think of the Christian life as, "I bought the ticket; I'm going to heaven," but that's such a limited view. When you become a Christian, you enter into His kingdom and while you're still in the world with its battles, now you have a purpose and someone to live for.

Sometimes the healing that God offers is the peace that passes all understanding that enables us to go through physical sickness. Sometimes the healing is the joy unspeakable that allows us to rejoice in Jesus even during sickness. Emotional and spiritual healings are real healings!

We're not going to get out of this world without passing through death, unless Jesus returns. It is right to pray for healing, but we also need to pray that God is honored through life and through suffering and through death. That biblical foundation will allow us to stand firm, even in the midst of today's storm.

Some of us are better at encouragement than others. But it is critically important in church life for all of us to learn the power of encouragement, to learn to lift each other up and point each other forward, rather than tear each other down.

The book of Acts is paralleled with the book of Revelation. In Revelation, the curtian is drawn back and you see the spiritual opposition. The human opposition in Acts is a representation of that spiritual opposition. The people in Acts pray to the sovereign God, and he moves in great power through their prayers.
