Scripture Reading: Psalm 33–34; Acts 24

Acts 24:24-25~ "And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee."

I wish they had the technology to video back during these days. This is one of the conversations I would have loved to watch: Paul sharing his faith in Christ with Felix and his wife Drusilla. Paul, a skillful soul winner, reasoned in the Scriptures of God's righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come.

There is no record of Felix or his wife Drusilla being converted, but the Bible does record that Felix trembled. Hebrews 4:12~ "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." The Word of God cut right through Felix's innermost being and a good old fashioned dose of the fear of God and Holy Ghost conviction set in. Felix panics and said it was enough and sent Paul out.

The Gospel, the Word of God, is sharper than ever. Isaiah 55:11~ "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Let's use it today!!

Scripture Reading: II Timothy 4

Timothy 4:2 says, “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

A fable is a made up story. It can be fun to listen to, but it can never and should never replace the truth. Why then would the Bible say that they shall turn away their ears (stop listening) to the truth? In Romans 1:25, we learn that the truth of God has been changed into a lie. Who would change the truth of God into a lie? In 2 Timothy 3:8, the Bible tells us that there are some that resist the truth. Don’t resist the truth. Even as a child, you can know the truth. Ask God to show you the truth, and He will give you the truth in His Word for your understanding. He will also use your Pastor, parents and teachers to give you the truth.

In John 8:32 it is clear, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” When I first got saved, I didn’t know much about God’s Word. Even so, I did know that it was the truth, and it did set me free.
