They were a young couple with one child and another on the way. They liked our church and immediately became involved in teaching Sunday School. After their second child was born they asked to meet with the Pastor. He thought they wanted to discuss the baby’s dedication and was floored when they said…

…“We want to get married.”

Everyone assumed they were married! I wonder how many people I assume are Christians have actually accepted Christ. I need to be bold like Paul was in today’s verse.

Acts 9:2, “And he asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed [on Jesus as the Christ]? And they said, No we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

And that is the second question I need to ask.

What verse impressed you?

About admin

I grew up on Elim Bible Institute, Lima NY and Pinecrest Bible Training Center (Now called Bethany Bible Training Center), Salisbury Center, NY, where my father, Charlie Cary, was the maintenance man. When we moved back to Iowa, (12), I joined the "Gospel Lighthouse Telecast" choir, a local weekly program sponsored by the Gospel Lighthouse in Batavia. I have read the Bible through, every year, since I was 13. I became the church janitor when I was 16 and played piano for services. I moved to Fairfield and started playing the piano, when I was 18, at the Fairfield Foursquare Church. I married David Fishel there when I was 20. At 21, I became secretary/treasurer and served for 24 years, stepping down due to a health issue that restricts me to my home. My husband now attends a new satellite church of Faith Christian Outreach Center, Mt. Pleasant, where our youngest son is the drummer. We have three grown children and one grandchild.
