Read: Acts 26:6-23
King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. --- Acts 26:19
The Bible In One Year:

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 question 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
You may be tempted to debate
To change another's view,
But nothing speaks with greater power
Than what Christ does for you. --- Sper
WHEN TELLING OTHERS WHAT JESUS CAN DO FOR THEM, TELL THEM WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU.
