“Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent” Acts 17:30 Acts is one of my favorite books of the Bible and 17 is one of my favorite Chapters.

“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19 This is Peter’s 2nd sermon in Acts and both times he gives similar Instruction. When asked in Chapter 2 by those on Pentecost, “Brethren, what shall we

“So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”” John 21:21 In this last Chapter of John, we have a conversation between Peter and Jesus that deserves comment. Peter has just been admonished 3 times, to Care for the Sheep, and then told about his latter days. How does he respond?

“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.” John 16:1 Thomas Paine reflected during the Revolution, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” A similar sentiment could be declared today, especially for God’s People.
