It is amazing to me that we have the greatest communication pathways in all of human history, and yet we use them to gossip and argue and grandstand. Our turmoil has been amplified as our voices have been. Thanks to online resources, we also have the most opportunity to know,
study, and contemplate the teachings of the Scriptures, but to me at least, this seems to be an often overlooked and underutilized element of the internet world. The turbulence we are now experiencing on social media has even grabbed the attention of Western governments, who are aiming to make laws about how to regulate online behavior. There’s no doubt in my mind that we have to step up our personal concern over what we say and how we say it.

I was reminded of all this as I studied Acts 15, where there was a great conflict over what needed to be done to be saved by Christ. What were the restrictions, and how were the people to know? A council gathered in Jerusalem to hear the case and importantly, seek the Spirit of God.

God Changes Things; Acts 27-28
To follow Christ will mean that sometimes our plans are changed or redirected by God; sometimes He changes our day and the things that happen to us. I have often gone about my day not paying too much attention, even when things don’t go the way they normally would or how I’ve planned them out. La...
