LUKE/ACTS S.O.A.P. ~ ACTS 5

Wednesday, 10/30/24

SCRIPTURE:

No one from outside the church dared to join them, even though the people spoke highly of them. Indeed, more and more believers in the Lord, large numbers of both men and women, were added to the church. ~ Acts of the Apostles 5:13-14

OBSERVATION:

Seems kinda contradictory... 

No one joined them...

... but more and more were added to the church...

Perhaps this refers to joining the apostles in their public speaking and activities...

...which is not something everyone can do...

...but I can do what I can - 

...through His leading and in His power...

...provided He gets the credit - the recognition - the glory...

APPLICATION:

“Go, take your place... and tell the people everything about this new life.” (Verse 20)

"...obey God rather than humans!" (Verse 29)

"...teach and proclaim the good news that Jesus is the Christ, both in the temple and in houses." (Verse 42)

PRAYER:

Father - I ask forgiveness for not using the gifts You have given me to do what I can to bring more and more to Your Word and salvation... May Your Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage me to speak and act in ways that point to "this new life" You have given, and to Your coming Kingdom through Jesus... In His Name, and for Your praiseful worshipful glory... 

Taking my place...

The Truth about Lying (Acts 5:1-11)

Like Ananias and Sapphira of old, our contemporary lying is typically to misrepresent who we are and how we are really doing and feeling.

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the…

I have so many thoughts but I at least want to address the "for the new unicorn" note. because first of all it's so incredibly gratifying for izzy to finally be accepted into a community. it was shown before that the crew cares for him in some way but it was the first time he really saw that. that he isn't useless and alone, that he still has a place on the ship. even more so the crew WANTS HIM to be on the ship. and also that they want him to embrace his disability which doesn't make them think any less of him.

but also the choice of words. because inherently it rings queer, unicorn as a symbol of queerness. and even if it may have a negative sound when you use it differently here it is extremely positive. izzy is not only accepted to the crew, he's also accepted to the queer community, to the family. the unicorn on the revenge was also the one that was leading the ship, so one can argue that they want him to take that role in their dynamic.

and you can see that he does so immediately. he puts himself together and starts helping the crew. he's still bitchy but no longer violent and cruel. he helps stede and lucius immensely because that is what he does now. he's part of the family. twat.

The Morning Devotional: WCF 23.3 (Part One)

The Morning Devotional for August 9, 2023 The Westminster Confession of Faith 23.3 (Part One) III. Civil magistrates may not assume to themselves the administration of the Word and sacraments; or the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven; or, in the least, interfere in matters of faith. Yet, as nursing fathers, it is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the church of our common Lord,…

(You see a vision of the unending present.)

Got inspired by @tawnysoup's drawing of what the Bigfrin boss fight looks like from the party's POV, and I thought "what if Siffrin had a special attack like the King lol". So here you go! This would probably show up when Siffrin tries to loop back.
