Very frustrated from essay writing. so i decided to do my devos 
it was a very short chapter today and i didnt really get that much from it, but i did really like this verse :
"These men began to argue with Stephen, 10but they could not stand up against his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke. "
When i read the first half i was like 'ahha wow stephen must be a kick-bum debator' and then when i read the rest of the sentence i was like, wait NO. GOD is the kick-bum debator. the reason that they couldnt win was because they were up against God - there's no way that we can ever win a religious debate with just our own power - because we'll never have enough intelligence or facts or whatever. it's really all about what God can do through our words and through their hearts. so in the end the best argument is prayer
TAKE THAT, DEBATORS.

i didnt get a whole lot from todays chapter but i liked this part :
3Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."
This is a good example of discipleship... just like how Jesus gathered his 12 disciples. In our church we're put into different ministries. We are placed in different ones because God gave us different callings and responsibilities. I like how they said "give our attention to prayer". I think thats what it is. We worship God, we still serve, but our attention is on WORSHIP..musical wise. But just because we were called to focus on worship ministry.. doesnt mean we should take our eyes off important things like prayer, serving and etc in different aspects of the church. if that made any sense at all... haha do you guys get my point? And through this, we need to be like these disciples and train new people under us so that the line will continue to grow. HAHA aka. noobs.
goodnight everyone! i have to get up early tomorrow.. im in toronto for fellowship time with the gr 10 girls : ) haha
