Act_3:5

We do not have a right to expect anything from God. He owes us nothing and was not obligated to extend us any mercy whatsoever. He did give us the right to expect from others which have freely received the Gospel that they deliver it unto those who do not have it. All have a right to know, and the
expectation is not incumbent upon God but upon us. JDP

 

We need a burning spirit.

 

Act_8:25

Here we see two of the biggest name preachers and men of God in the whole Bible, Peter and John, being personally active in getting the gospel out to the heathen. They were not preaching in big buildings to big crowds. They were not preaching because of their name recognition. Here they were, Peter and John, passing through "many" villages of those detestable people (in their day), the Samaritans! Regardless of name, stature or position our duty remains the same - preach the gospel to every creature regardless of social class, race or position... JDB

 

Act_17:15-16

 

As Paul is traveling on his missionary journeys he begins to face persecution. He has to flee for his life and ends up in the city of Athens. As Paul walks down the cobblestone street in Athens he sees the many temples to Zeus, Athena and all the idols that the people are worshiping and something begins to happen in his heart. A fire begins to be kindled in him when he sees the condition of the city. His spirit begins to burn within him and so should ours when we see the condition of the world and the idolatry around us.

Act_17:26 – The fact that we are all of “one blood” is an amazing aspect of creation. We are all of the same offspring and not one of us better than another. There are 6.4 billion people in the world today and there not two identical or even a remake. Before we ever start to get a little racist it would be best for us to remember that person whatever color is blood kin. KBH
