  • Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007
     | 2,214 views

    We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

    In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we celebrate the Apostle Paul’s conversion. As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more
