I’ve been hanging out in the book of Acts the last week or so. A couple of things are standing out about the modus operandi of the church:

• They were consumed with presenting Jesus
• They would go to any lengths to reach people, especially those the established religious structure didn’t want
• They offended the Pharisees — they cared more about reaching people with the good news than anything else. Their “offense” was often painful.
• The number of believers grew unbelievably
• It was a people movement
• They turned the world upside down

With our Ubaúna trip a week away, with what is happening at Lifepoint, Acts has my full attention!
