I don't have a lot of time to plan out a well written post today. I just wanted to give everyone a big "high-five" for making it through this challenge - we're starting our 6th month today! Halfway baby...and it's not even a challenge to get in my reading each day. I enjoy it...look forward to it...and miss it when I let the busyness of my day take priority. I hope you feel the same way. :-)
As for the reading today, I thought it was interesting that some early believers were called "incomplete" in that they believed in Jesus as the Messiah, but they didn't understand the significance of his death and resurrection - or the work of the Holy Spirit. I think we all know people like this...they're well intentioned, but their knowledge and basis of their faith is incomplete. I see it in friends who think they're doing fine because they make sure to go to church on Sundays. I see it on Facebook when people make posts about God during hard times and don't have the ability to see who is actually in control of the situation. (Like the men in verses 13-19 who called on the name of Jesus without knowing who He really is.) They just don't have the whole story!
THis is Jessica - Not sure why I can't log into my google to comment as me... Stupid computers. Anyway... Isn't it interesting how you can pick up that stuff right away? I notice it all the time now sort of screems out when ppl say certain things whether on FB or whenever, how empty they are even when they claim to beleive in God. I think so many ppl beleive but don't get it... no relationship attached. They are missing the most important part or key in the whol puzzle of life.
