Getting out of debt slavery – God style: 2 Kings 3:1-4:17
It’s tough to tell the difference between a Christian and Zeus: Acts 14:8-28
Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men: Psalm 140:1-13
How to get dry bones: Proverbs 17:22
Reading Acts, it must have been mighty tempting to Barnabas & Paul to let the Greeks continue worshipping them as Zeus and Hermes. But the Holy Spirit didn’t give Paul the ability to heal the man so that Paul & Barnabas could get the glory. The glory goes to God.
Paul later wrote a lot about spiritual gifts in 1st Corinthians 12-14. In those 3 chapters he wrote various ways that it’s tempting to think that the presence of a spiritual gift in your life makes you superior to other Christians. But the gifts are meant to edify the church and edify the individual, not make the individual the center of worship.
