Scattered or Secluded? Still SPEAK!Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison. Therefore, those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. (Acts 8:1-4)
Stephen was stoned publicly far-reaching the Gospel message.....and Saul (Paul) "was consenting to his death"! Saul would furnishings mission, hunting down believers and attempting to destroy the Church.
Those scattered however, continued to speak. They shared the Good News. Even in Samaria (John 4), many more believed and were baptized, receiving the Holy Spirit!
Today we have scattered from our jobs, schools, and city squares. We have been secluded into our homes. We have not bee:-)n forbidden to speak however! We can share the Good News on the internet, on social media through Zoom, Google Classroom and the like.
Speak and Spread His Word......whether scattered or Scattered or Secluded? Still SPEAK!!
