In love with Acts

The book of Acts (the acts of the apostles) is my favorite book so far in the Bible (I'm not kidding). I've read the whole Old Testament (it's really long....) and it was ok. I have officially finished the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Those were very good. But Acts is different. It combines the teachings with the journeys, miracles, and events of the early church. It is simple and straightforward. It very much reminds me of the book of Alma in the Book of Mormon.

I especially love chapter seven, where Stephen bears his testimony of Christ's plan and then see's Him and God the Father. It was one of my favorite scriptures in seminary, and it still is. Even when threatened with death, Stephen stood firm in his testimony of Christ. There are many instances where people are confronted with either deny our religion, or face death. From the prophets of the Old Testament to the early Latter Day Saints. There may come a day when you will have to choose between what you believe and what the law says. Would you stand up for what's right? I believe that I would, and I think you would too. I bear to you my testimony of Jesus Christ and that through Him we can do all things. I leave these things with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
