Getting To The Heart Of Hypocrisy
The word hypocrisy actually means "play-acting". We all are vulnerable to this. But what is the sin beneath hypocrisy? The answer is "dishonesty". One of the biggest accusations against Christians is that they are hypocrites. And of course that is correct. We are hypocrites. However, it is seldom pointed out that this is why we are Christians in the first place. We need Christ as our Savior. Without Christ we are all condemned to an inconsistency between word and deed. Christ is the only one who lived a perfect and consistent life.

The Apostle Paul An Instrument in the will of God
In Human terms Saul did not look like someone God could use. He was persecuting Christians. He was an instrument that God could use. Once he met the risen lord he was never the same again. The same passion that had led him to persecute Christians, led him to lead others to Christ.

Transformissional Relationships
We are back in the great historical narrative of Acts. One of the great joys of this book is its seemingly inconsequential detail from Luke the historian, yet in these details are found treasures if we’re willing to dig a bit for them. We’ve been on a quest to determine what it was that so captured the hearts and minds of the early Christians that it created such an explosive spread of the Gospel in such a hostile environment.
