Acts 22- Testimony

In Acts 22 we see Paul roll out his personal testimony. This is one of the spots in the bible that show us the unique experience of sharing our personal stories.

Here are a couple thoughts about testimonies.

1) God doesn't give or create wasted days. There is much about Paul's story that could seem throw away. I'm sure Paul may have wished to erase the history surrounding his persecution of Christians. In the same way there may be many days of your life that you could rewrite. God aims to redeem even the most broken of our experiences.

2) There is no magic testimony formula for conversion. Sometimes the cross work in your life is the stench of death.

The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, "Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!" (Acts 22:22)
