If you were called into court to prove you were a Christian, would you have enough evidence to convince the judge? Would your testimony and lifestyle convince a jury of your peers? Paul's testimony and missionary work left no doubt wherehe stood. One day, Jesus said, every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.--Marrhew 12:36 Let's make our words count for Jesus and His kingdom. Learn how from Paul!

I have made countless appeals in my life because an unjust decision was made. Often something was clearly wrong and needed to be overturned. Sometimes those in positions to make decisions would not act. Every appeal is made to one with more power and with a hope of justice. Paul's appeal was to the Emperor Nero, an iffy situation. but the Lord saw him through. *****************

Acts 22 Theme: Testimony, calling, conscience, and costly obedience. Key Verse: “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” — Acts 22:16 Paul has just been rescued from a riot in Jerusalem (Acts 21). Bound with chains, Paul, instead of protesting injustice, gives his testimony.
