vs. 11 .. Peter knew that God had sent an angel to free him ...
I am such a spolied Christian ... to even think about being locked up in prison for preaching the gospel is such a foreign concept to me. Yet, people around the world are still being persecuted today. I need to tell others of the gospel without fear!

Acts 9
vs. 6 ... Arise, go into the city, and I will tell you what you must do ...
Before Paul's conversion these wer the words that Jesus told Him. After he arose from the earth his eyes were opened. It made me think how many times that I ignore a command from God. What are thoe consequences? What if Paul did nit heed God's words. Think of how many people possibly that could not have been converted. It's important for us to heed God's words.

Acts 5
vs 29 ... "we ought to obey God, rather then men."
Peer pressure exists no matter how old you are. It's tough not to want to be accepted by our peers. We need to remember, however, that ultimately it is God's approval whom we should seek.
Let's please God first, than worry about men.

Acts 3
6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
I wonder how many times we have passed someone in need without helping. I'm not someone that has great wealth, or any wealth for that matter, so I can relate with Peter when he states, "Silver and gold have I none". I also must admit that there have been times when I have seen a need that I was capable of meeting, and didn't for whatever reason. I pray that God will help us to see peoples need, and meet the need.

Acts 2
vs. 44 "And all that believed were together, and had all things in common."
If we as Christians can realize that we are all on the same team and should have the ultimate goal of bringing people to Christ, I think many of our problems will be solved.
We might not all have the same approach for winning people, but we all have our purpose. Some people will reach people that others cannot reach.
Don't be quick to criticize others methods.

John 21
25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
It's amazing to think that with everything we have recorded in Scripture concerning the miracles of Jesus there are tons more. We serve an awesome God! I pray we serve Him.
