I eat one meal a day: dinner. I skip breakfast and lunch, although I will snack on carrot sticks or something similar throughout the day. I'm diabetic, so I have to watch what I eat.ahhhh, If I have it right, you must belong to the never eating breakfast collective. I wonder what that means? Cheaper grocery bills? Less wear and tear on shoe leather? Less toilet paper? More for lunch? ....and last but not least, a third as much farting?

OK Acts 11 - Please excuse the delay, we are preparing to move house so timing is tricky.
So the Holy Spirit was seen to be moving among the gentiles - unthinkable to the Jew.
Notice Peter sees the vision three times - denied three times - was affirmed by the risen Jesus three times. So the message from our triune God to share the Good News with the Gentiles came as a shock and needed undeniable confirmation.
Note the dispersion due to the persecution around the stoning of Stephen combined with the Holy Spirit moving beyond the Jewish world resulted in a rapid growth given that the Gospel was now for all mankind.
Note how Paul and Barnabas spent a whole year in the midst of the revival, committed to encouraging and teaching those impacted by this fresh breath of God.
So the Church spreads not just in Word but in deed (v29,30) Practical help for those vulnerable to the intense demands that famine brings - and on the weight of a Prophetic Word.
Some will know that in 70's, prophetic insight indicated a major emigration of Jews from Russia was to come, and believers in Scandinavia even added extra rooms on their houses to cope with the migration to come. Many living in Israel today were accommodated and assisted by Gentile Christians during the long journey.
Oh that in this day, believers would extend God's Love to all mankind again and cross the racial barriers set up by a corrupt world.

Hullo again folks,
Very little response to the last episode - I will carry on if there is enough interest.
Feedback appreciated.
If Acts is not holding interest - we could do Romans or Galatians of whatever folks would like to tackle...
We are in the middle of moving at the moment.

Don't give up or quit on us my friend! We need more of this type of edifying threads and fewer of the so many others. Give God the glory!

Have you considered that your sleep may be less restful because your body is working at digesting your evening meal? Also, could you have less energy during the day because you skip breakfast? Food for thought?

Who less I have less energy during the day? I sleep fine, I wake up every morning at 6:00 I workout for about 45 minutes, take a shower and off to work. I'm a letter carrier who walks 15 miles a day in the elements. When I get home, I workout for another 45 minutes, make dinner for me and the family and take it easy the rest of the evening.

Excellent, that is all I needed...
We go to Melbourne in a few days for a ten week break so I will have more time also.
May be able to catch up on Brakelite...
