While he was looking ahead and planning ahead, Paul was quick to use every opportunity, planned or otherwise, to serve God by ministering to others. Sign up for your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom. https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

We do not ask for storms, or difficult times, to come into our lives--they just come. They are part of life, but more importantly, they are part of God's plan for our lives. Paul's experience on the sea gives us some much-needed perspective on life’s storms. Sign up for your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom. https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

It must have seemed like an endless cycle to the apostle Paul--charges brought, hearings held, decisions delayed. Yet at every step he had opportunities to speak, and he took advantage of each one to boldly proclaim Jesus Christ. There is much we can learn from his example. Sign up for your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom. https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Acts 23 presents a great lesson from the life of the apostle Paul, and it is this: God never works with perfect people, because they do not exist. He works with those who know, love, and follow Him and He accomplishes His purposes despite their human failings.

Our focus should not be on the difficulty of our circumstances, our vindication, or even the conversion of others to Christ. We should be centered on being faithful followers of Christ and witnesses for Him. God will take care of those other matters. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Commitment is measured by perseverance. One who is truly committed to the Lord will persevere in faithfully following the Lord through much discouragement, opposition, and discomfort. The apostle Paul’s example challenges us to greater commitment. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

We cannot be effective servants of God if we do not humbly acknowledge our need for Him, guard our relationship with Him, and become careful students of His Word. Paul’s example is a model and inspiration to us. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

As Christians, our works should be a shining example to others. But it is only the gospel of Jesus Christ that can change lives, destinies, and even cultures. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Effective ministry involves teamwork. Paul is known as the greatest missionary of the early church, but Paul did not work alone. He had the assistance and support of a growing network of fellow workers. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends
