Journal Entry 27 May 2009 : Keep Up The Good Word
Scripture: Acts 13:44-14:7
14:7 where they continued to preach the good news
Observation
Paul & Barnabas are 2 great guys, even as the student was greater than the teacher. I would really like to know more about Barnabas. Were they encouragers of each other? Even so Barnabas was known as an encourager. What about Paul? Did Paul learn from the best. They continued to preach the good news in all faces of adversity, friction, betrayal, etc etc
Aren't we glad they CONTINUED to preach the good news
Application
I am reminded of the time in Uni when I tried to share the good news with a classmate, and he frustrated me with too many ill-logical presumptions. IN all adversities, we continue to share the gospel for there is no greater mission, ministry and witness for our Lord, but to share His love in action and in proclamation. Edification & Evangelism the thrust of each cell group.
Leading 2 cell groups of different dynamics, I will continue to preach the Good News even when there's no response.
Response
Lord thank you for the encouragement to continue to share your love. It is definitely needed in a discouraging world like this. The world needs it more.. and in fact.. it is necessary.. We shall share your love and your word O Lord.
