"I was thinking about something Mr. Wortman was saying...you know - about making sure we were defined by Love in the way we spread the gospel. Well, I read some from Acts this morning and the apostles are always going around healing people and doing miracles. We can't do that. So I'm trying to think of some ways we can show love."
"Well, I think the fact that we care about people's souls and their hope in life says something to them about our love, don't you?"
"Hmm. I guess. Maybe if we try the approach of buying coffee for the guy behind us in line, that might show love."
"Yeah. Let's try that one today. We need to try something else new too..."
"It's funny, Acts. I also read the passage about Phillip and the Eunuch. Now there's a story where there's no miraculous healing or anything. He just stumbles upon a Eunuch who's reading a book. So I thought, hey! here's something - this sounds like an interaction we could just as easily have. And it turns out that the Eunuch is reading prophecy from Isaiah and he asks Phillip to explain it to him. Why isn't it ever that easy for us!?"
