This is the first of a 4 part series: Why are you gazing into Heaven?

I am of the impression more than a nanosecond passed between Acts 1:9 and Acts 1:11. Maybe it was a few moments, maybe longer. I’m sure their minds replayed all the things that had happened over the course of the last three and a half years. I’d be willing to bet that goosebumps covered their arms as they thought about Lazarus’ rotten body raised from the dead. I’m sure the feel of salty winds on their arms incited memories of Peter’s near-drowning experience had Jesus not reached out his hand to rescue his life. I bet they replayed the torture Christ endued on their (and our) account.

There is a time that is appropriate for us to remember, to think, and to dream. Eventually, if we are ever to spread the good news that saves souls from the grips of death we will need to gird up our loins, and get to work. That is when the men in white robes woke them from their thoughts and said, “Why do you look into heaven?” There was a message within this question: You don’t have time to stare into heaven, souls here need you.

Last night 32 wonderful souls answered the call and attended Fisher’s of Men to become better equipped and more confident to spread the gospel. Please pray for them and encourage them, souls hang in the balance.

Let your light shine!
