The Wisdom Journey

We should never be intimidated by the arguments or actions of people who oppose the gospel of Christ. Such responses come only from people; the truth we proclaim comes from God. When we faithfully speak His Word, He will use it for His glory. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom: https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

When we are committed to following the Lord by faith, we will face new challenges but also new opportunities and new people to whom we can minister. And through it all, we will see the grace of God at work. These truths are highlighted in Acts 16. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom: https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Disagreements can be very difficult, but they can also clarify issues for us and even open new avenues of service. Acts 15 describes two significant disagreements within the early church--one involves a doctrinal issue and the other a ministry issue. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom: https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

While sharing the gospel with those who desperately need to hear it is God-honoring and rewarding, it can also be dangerous. This is why we need to depend on the Lord and remind ourselves that serving Him is not about our comfort but about His glory. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom: https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

There can be no substitute for the forthright, faithful proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul's sermon in Acts 13 is the standard for what our message to the world should be, and it is centered on the death and resurrection of Christ.

Where there is consistent obedience to the Lord and proclaiming His gospel, there is always opposition. And behind all opposition to the gospel is Satan. We need the wisdom of God's Word to recognize his attacks and the boldness of God's Spirit to respond properly. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Both Peter in his long ministry and James in his shorter ministry and less prominent role fulfilled God's purposes for them. God has different paths for each of us in our service for Him. But to serve Him is to engage in a divine work that ultimately cannot be defeated. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Perhaps the most vibrant church we find in the book of Acts is the church in Antioch. What made it an exemplary church? From its very founding, we see a church that is growing within through biblical teaching and reaching out in love and compassion. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Peter's willingness to listen to the Lord, change his thinking accordingly, and act in obedience assured that the church would not be limited to a single ethnic group but encompass all who will trust and follow Jesus Christ. The gospel is for everyone. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends

Change is seldom comfortable, but it is often necessary. It is certainly necessary if our attitudes and actions are not in accord with God's Word. As Peter learned, personal changes can have a far-reaching impact on people's lives and God's work. Claim your FREE membership in Friends of Wisdom today! https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/friends
