Ready for the Big One?

Here in the Northwest we are constantly waiting for “The Big One”. By all accounts we are due for a very big earthquake.   They happen every so often, (or at least they have) and we are actually over due for the next installment. Because of this we get told to have on hand certain emergency supplies and what we should do just in case. Eventually the Big One will come and while we will all be surprised, no one will really be shocked. They have after all been telling us this was going to show up for years.

But I wonder if they were expecting an earthquake in Acts chapter 4? They had seen so many things, and were experiencing such an incredible movement of the Spirit, you might think that they would be ready for anything. But I think the shaking of the place still surprised them. Would it surprise us?

It would be amazing to be part of such an experience as they had. I think it would something that I would remember forever. I would no doubt tell my grand children about it, and fondly remember it. But the reality is, that the earthquake of Acts chapter 4 was the least important thing in the story. The important part is what happened afterwards. The important part was how they changed.

If the Lord moved in our church with power how would it impact you? Do you think you would come away unchanged? How would your life look different?

Are you ready for the Big One?

See you at church
