Charles Haddon Spurgeon. “It is easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but the skillful singer is he who can sing when there is not a ray of light to read by … Songs in the night come only from God; they are not in the power of men.”
Responding to our World
Could of run, God obviously freed them
Something greater than personal freedom
Jailer was imprisoned, not Paul and Silas
Transforming Truth
When others see God’s power in us - Points others to need
We need to have answers ready
1 Peter 3:15 HCSB
but honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
Transforming Truth
Lives were visibly changed - change of heart
Family was changed - men lead your families
Notice he still did his job - back to jail - changed the way he did his job
Truth matters for us and them
John 8:32 HCSB
You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 14:6 HCSB
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
"When regard for truth has been broken down or even slightly weakened, all things will remain doubtful."- Augustine
