"In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power." In what way? What it looks like to me is stuff was happening and things were breaking loose and people hated Paul and The Way (Christians) and... There was stuff going on! I don't have to use this as the only model, but it sure speaks to me about having things run UN-smoothly! Why do I always want everything to feel so good and fit so well into my plan? I crack myself up! The Kingdom of God is FORCEFULLY advancing and that means that it won't be a smooth as silk all the time - or even most of the time. Do I want easy and comfortable or do I want the advancement of the Kingdom? Advancement.
