Video of the Day: Clip from the 1984 movie “Romancing the Stone”
Bible Verse of the Day:
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’[a] 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved,” Acts 4:8-12.
Biblical Connection:
Desperate for transportation, Joan Wilder and Jack Colton knock on a stranger’s door in Columbia. After being rejected and facing men with guns, Jack turns to the romance novelist Joan for a last second Hail Mary. Jack’s name dropping of Joan Wilder saves the day, being welcomed into this beautiful house. The next step is locating Joan’s kidnapped sister.
Peter and John were seized by religious leaders and placed in prison. The next day Peter and John plead their case before the Sanhedrin alongside rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law. While he was addressing this group, Peter became filled with the Holy Spirit. This led Peter to proclaim Jesus as the name above all names, the only one that can save mankind.
Closing Song:
The greatest gift for thanksgiving is knowing that your eternal destiny is secure, 1 John 5:11-13. When you enter into a personal relationship with Jesus, Romans 10:9-11, your faith journey commences. Instead of searching for a kidnapped sister, you’ll be become fishers of men and women, to fulfill the great commission in Acts 1:8.
