Scripture lesson: Acts 9:1-6 Deacons out of strife
Time to Reflect: This story is taken to be the creation of the office of Deacon (“servant”) and ministries of compassion. It is interesting that the impetus was a church fight! But what a divinely inspired solution that continues to today.
Moving Through the Day: Pray for your Board of Deacons and their ministries of compassion.
Scripture:
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6"Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
