Thank you Lord for the cross. It should have been me that died there but you took my place, taking my sins upon you, and gave me hope. I am blessed beyond my understanding. Your mercy and grace are so wonderful.

[@terriblue9792]

If I could like this a million times I would!🙌🏽🙌🏽 He took ALL of Gods wrath that was meant for me!!!😭😭😭 THANK YOU JESUS!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful to God for this wonderful reading plan and His promises to us!

[@karenfroment7525]

My God shot was in 16:14-"...The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul." I remember the day the Lord opened my eyes and my heart to understand the word of God. It is good to ask the Lord to open our heart when we go to church to hear what is being taught through the Word. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@Daughter_of_the_King316]

Praying for Him to open so many hearts too!

[@stevensimpson6371]

How blessed we all are to have and live in a land where some of our founders came here fleeing religious persecution. Their great faith is an enduring legacy. Praise the LORD for He is good! His steadfast love endures forever! Let us also pray for all of our Christian family around the world facing persecution from the forces of evil.

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

I love how God used Paul and the other apostles to encourage and strengthen other believers (Acts 15:32, 16:5, 16:40). I am also amazed at how Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God while in prison (Acts 16:25) even after they had been severely flogged (Acts 16:23). I pray that I would be an encourager to other believers and demonstrate such joy even in the face of suffering. 🙏🏽

[@kiranjacob9721]

Thank you for taking us through the scriptures to make the Bible come alive.

[@LeahsAbiding23]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. May God continue to bless and keep you in His care. Thank you Tara Leigh for all you do.

[@antoinettehereford8180]

So much took place. But, what stands out is Paul rebuking the evil spirit in the girl, which led to him and Silas being beaten and thrown into jail. This reminds me that know matter what, I must keep my faith knowing that I have the power of Jesus living in me. Praise His holy name! Yes and Amen. The Lord initiates and sustains our faith! Faith purifies our hearts. Glory to His name!

[@DonZimmerman52]

This may not be an easy Thanksgiving, being the first without your father. It isn’t easy for us, too. Praise God that our loved ones are celebrating the Feast of the Bridegroom, beyond our imaginations! Happy Thanksgiving, my sister!

[@DonZimmerman52]

Paul and Silas have their ears attuned to the Spirit of Jesus, and they obey-and God blessed them by advancing the kingdom. They even sing while in chains, and He shakes the earth, sets them free, and leads the jailer’s family into the family of God. So much to be thankful for today!

[@terriblue9792]

Happy Thanksgiving!! God does the doing🙌🏽🙌🏽 Share the Gospel if the opportunity opens up today. I’m about to go in the grocery store👀🙏🏾

Happy Thanksgiving Bible family 🙌🏾💯 and TLC and TBR for all you do and a beautiful Lesson ❤ Have a blessed day in His Presence ❤️

[@Jennifer13515]

In Acts 16:14 before it says God opened Lydia’s heart, it says she was already “a worshiper of God” other translations say “a God-fearing woman”. She had already prepared her heart to respond to God when he sent her more specifics about salvation. God draws all people - faith is our response to His drawing and it’s the way we access His Grace (Romans 5:2) He is the instigator, yes, in that He has endured the cross and now has offered His salvation to all people and now commands all people everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30).but He does not create a faith response in people’s hearts. This is the whole idea behind Paul’s journeys - to persuade people that Jesus is Messiah and place their faith in Him for salvation

[@Daughter_of_the_King316]

Do you mean you disagree with her when she said its all God?

[@Jennifer13515]

@@Daughter_of_the_King316in a way- I think she is leaning toward God being the one who pre-selects only certain people to salvation and “opens their hearts” whenever He decides to, when what we in Scripture is that God has provided for all people by his Grace and then expects us to respond by faith.

[@Daughter_of_the_King316]

@Jennifer-rq7ww oh I did some research and she is a calvinist.😧

[@Jennifer13515]

⁠@@Daughter_of_the_King316correct 😢 I try to comment when nuance seems necessary. I love listening to Tara-Leigh every day - it’s my 3rd trip through. But I do have to speak up when I hear some misleading ideas. Even if she never reads my comment and/or doesn’t change her view, perhaps someone reading a comment won’t fall into it. Or even just to clarify the ordo salutis and the relationship of Christ’s death to personal salvation. (It’s about to get crazy as we enter Romans in this study!)

[@user-ri6bi9ct4t]

@@Daughter_of_the_King316 Yep. I found that out this year when looking into D-group. I'm going to finish out the year, but can't recommend this study any longer.

[@suebarnard1734]

Happy Thanksgiving! Praise the Lord that He is the one who opens our hearts up to believe!

[@staceynyberg3390]

Happy Thanksgiving! God is good 🙌🙏🤍

[@inessacocan8908]

We are saved by grace through faith, but a sign of your salvation and new heart, is obedience to God's(Yahuas') laws. If you love Him, then you Obey His commandments. John 14:21 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them: is he that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will [a]show mine own self to him.

[@km8307]

Why does he open one person’s heart and not everyone’s heart? Doesn’t He want everyone with Him?

[@ruthdeyoung4791]

How would they know if they were circumcised or not???

[@user-oh8tc2yi9e]

They were beaten with many blows. Think about it. Being beaten for your profession of faith in Jesus. Could I endure this without fighting back? A question I will most likely have to answer……

[@Zoeysmommy0308]

So I can't eat medium rare steak? 😕 I'm confused.
