Acts 1:8b - "...and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Every word Jesus spoke while on earth was important but these were Jesus' last words to his disciples before ascending to Heaven. Let's try to be a witness today on visitation! - Wes Smith

Acts 17:10-11 - “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”  These verses remind us to receive, study and search the scriptures daily in a willing and ready mindset.  II Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”  Let’s remember to take time to daily read, study, mediate and apply God’s Word as the Berean Christians did.  - Clifford Myers

Acts 17:6 - "And...they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also." We may not be able to change the entire world, but we can do everything possible to influence our corner of the world for Jesus Christ. It would be the ultimate epitaph to say "he turned the world upside down," but that only comes when we completely sell out to Christ and let Him use us how He sees fit. - Steve Boots

Acts 4:13-14 - "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men,  they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them,  that they had been with Jesus. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. "

The most powerful tool of influence we have to go along with the Gospel is the testimony of our changed life. No matter how much hatred there is towards Christianity,  there is nothing the world can offer that can change a life like Jesus can. Let's be excited about being different than the world and use our testimony to point others to Christ. - Jason Myers

Acts 25:7 - "And when he was come, the Jews which came down  from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove." Paul went through many trials and persecutions that tested his faith.  Remember that God will be with us in all that we face today.  How we handle them reflects our faith and trust in Him.  - Phil Dann

Acts 13:52 - "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost." Real joy comes as we are filled with the Spirit. I want to ask God each day for the fullness of the Spirit, and consequently a life filled with joy. - John Mark Brothers

Acts 1:8 - “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..." Are you filled with the power of the Holy Spirit to the point that if the Holy Spirit were taken from this world right now, would your life continue on unchanged, or would it feel as if you had lost everything? - Steve Boots
