0 Acts : Family Values

The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 19:16

Trivia: Who did the people of Lystra think were the gods Mercury and Jupiter?

Acts : Family Values (3)

  1. Peter and God scare Ananias and his wife to death for not forking over all of the money that they made when selling their land. 5:1-10
  2. If you "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ," then you and your whole family will be saved; otherwise, God will send you all to hell. 16:31
  3. The jailer was so impressed with the holy jailbreak that he converted on the spot. He and his entire family were baptized that night. It didn't matter to Paul (or God) what the jailer's wife and kids thought about it. They were "his" so he could do whatever the hell he wanted with (or to) them. (This stupid story supports the idea of infant baptism, which has divided Christians for centuries.) 16:33
