Tell City Nazarene Church's Biblical Journey
With Pastor Charles Areson
Today's reading is Act 24-27
There are times it would be so easy to get out of a fix. Just bind the rules, give a little extra, okay let's say it, BRIBE them. This is what Felix was hoping for and repeatedly went to talk to Paul (I doubt it was talking as it was trying to extort). Yet we don't see Paul or the other disciples giving in. They didn't do business as usual according to the Romans. They keep their integrity, even though it meant staying in jail. Often times sticking to our principles cost us in the short term, but the eternal rewards are infinite.
