Saul, Who Was Re-named Paul

In the Book of Acts you will find Saul's story, which I'm reading now.  Acts 8:1-3;  9:1-31 Saul was a Pharisee who believed in God.   But as so many at that time, he did not believe in the man, Jesus, and he persecuted those who preached in His name. God found worth in him and eventually struck him blind and talked to him.  The men traveling with Saul,  saw him struck blind...  a light shinning around him.. and a voice talking to him. Later, Saul was sent to someone to heal him and get him acquainted with the Gospel teachings about Jesus. Saul was transformed into a powerful Apostle who preached the Gospel about Jesus and planted churches across the Roman world! My reason for posting about this,  though,  is strictly personal,  although I hope you will read the scriptures which I listed.

The Wise Men, and, The Star

 Good morning my friends! I've been thinking about something and probably should have saved it for Christmas time, but,  I'm going with it any way.  :) This is about the Wise Men from the East,  and the Star which led them.  This you will find in the 2nd Book of Matthew. Chapter two starts right out with the wise men,  which is some time after Jesus' birth in the 1st chapter. "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea in the days of Herod the king,  behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, 'Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.' " First of all,  there are lots of different wise men mentioned in the Bible in different places, who were involved in different subjects and actions and studies.   So, who were these, who came from the East? I would really be interested in knowing from where, in the East,  they came?   These men kne...

Things About An Angel And Gideon That Makes Me Smile

 Welcome to any of my YouTube followers who come to check out my new Blog,  and to any others who stop by. This is for any of us who sees something in a scripture verse that we think is cool, interesting, or that we have a question about. Let's enjoy spending a little time chatting with one another. But please,  no disrespectful arguing or disrespectful conduct.                                .............................. Good morning!! I wanted to ask you to look at Judges 6 in which I find a character that is so sweet. I even feel like the angel who came and met with him thinks he's sweet! At any rate I smile every time I read these verses,  because the angel is so cool!! The first thing that starts me smiling is verse 11 where this angel that came to see Gideon, simply sat down under a tree near where he was working in a field, to chat!  Can you imagine it?!   I can't r...
