Read: Acts 26:6-23
King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. —Acts 26:19
Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 1-2; Hebrews 11:1-19
In a debate at Boston College, Christian scholar William Craig Lane convincingly set forth the historical arguments for believing in Jesus' resurrection, much as the apostle Paul did in Acts 26. Then Lane told the story of his conversion.
As a child he never went to church, but in his teens he began to be plagued by questions about death and the meaning of life. He started going to church, but the sermons didn't answer his questions. What he saw in his church-going classmates led him to conclude that most Christians were phonies. He became an angry loner. One day a girl who always seemed to be happy told him that her joy came from having Jesus in her life, and she assured him that Jesus wanted to live in him too.
Lane spent the next 6 months soul-searching and reading the New Testament. "I came to the end of my rope and cried out to God," he said. "I cried out all the bitterness and anger that was within me. And I felt this tremendous infusion of joy, and God became at that moment a living reality in my life—a reality that has never left me."
We tell others our logic for believing in Jesus, which is based on God's Word. But it's also important to tell them what He has done for us personally. —Herb Vander Lugt
We had a really cool event at our church yesterday, we are near Ft Hood. First, the pastor had all Veteran's stand as he called out different wars. Then, he had all the spouses of soldiers that are currently deployed stand and then come to the front. There were 12-15 of them. They went down the line telling where there husbands were--I think they were all in Iraq. Then he invited all the women of the church to come down to the front to hug and encourage the women. At least 200 women went down. It was very emotional and really put a face on the war. God bless our military and their families!!

Six-day sweep of Iraqi city leaves 1,600 rebels dead
Hello gang, my brother is leaving for Iraq on Weds for his first tour. I will probably post a "prayer request" thread later on in the week, but if you can keep him in your prayers now, my family would be very thankful. My mom, of course, is just a mess.
Send us a pic and we can add him, and I'm sure Billie will add him to the Prayer list..
God Bless him!
