TUESDAY Act Like You Know
June 6th, 2007So I bought a Bible. And a guide to the Bible. And a criticism of the Bible. And, as instructed, I read Acts.
If my brother’s church is based on the book of Acts, then I should be seeing some dancing in the aisles, speaking in tongues, and if I’m lucky a miracle or two at his church. See, in Acts disciples Peter and John traveled the land spreading the word of Jesus and performing healings when they could. But in a few cases, if someone disobeyed the word of God, they were divinely annihilated on the spot. Jews and Gentiles converted to Christianity in droves, not only on account of the miracles they witnessed, but also out of fear of sudden death. Hence, I guess, the phrase “God fearing” Christian.
Joey may fear God, but I don’t think he fears anything else. We spent the ride from the airport filming with his video camera, which is normally used for capturing motorcycle stunts and ski crashes. His online videos get more hits than mine. Maybe we have more in common than I thought.
