Top Highlights

“Having received an unimaginable blessing from Peter and John, the formerly disabled man vigorously grabs the two apostles in joy and gratitude. No one who witnesses the scene can doubt that he believes that these two have played a key role in his being granted wholeness of body. The man familiar to everyone as the beggar who ‘used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful’ is now seen by all ‘walking and praising God’ (Acts 3:9, 10). We can imagine a crowd of hundreds being astonished by this miracle. They are more than ready for the explanation!” (Page 123)

“Peter refers to the Noahic flood as an illustration that God is able to judge the world and that there is coming another destruction, one by fire (2 Peter 3:6, 7). But until that time of judgment, the cycles of the seasons will continue. Perhaps we should spend more time warning of the coming judgment because of sin rather than worrying about predictions of climate change because of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere!” (Page 12)

“God expects his chosen people to use what he has given them to work together in advancing the mission of the church.” (Page 155)

“And so it is with Christians. Regular giving is not optional (1 Corinthians 16:2), and that is a good thing because each gift requires us to focus on the one who ultimately receives the gift: God. But the primary firstfruit he desires is us ourselves. See James 1:18.” (Page 318)

“The Israelites are not to be thinking, ‘Here’s your cut, God.’ Instead, their attitude should be, ‘I’m giving the first part in faith that there will be plenty of the remainder to meet my needs and the needs of my family.’” (Page 316)
