Resources For "Devoted" Series From Each Harderwyk Preacher
I. New For This Week
"Bridges Out From The Heart" - This phrase was used in both Celebration and Fusion this week to point to ways in which God made the heart of all to "go looking" for things that can only be found by God in the Gospel. CLICK HERE for The Secular Longing by Jeremy Treat on TheGospelCoalition.org site
Eternity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson - CLICK HERE for an Amazon link to the book with the story of Epimenides and many more historical examples of Bridges of God Into The Heart of people groups. The 1972 movie Peace Child - the story of Don and Carol Richardson discovering a Bridge of God as they ministered among the Sawi people - is available online by CLICKING HERE. Note: Be prepared for '70's era low-budget production as well as various states of native dress and un-dress. Perhaps more interesting is this 15-minute 50th anniversary followup film by Pioneers USA narrated by the Richardson children! CLICK HERE to hear the story as well as the longer-term impact.
II. From The Commentaries On This Passage
From "Acts - Reformed Expository Commentary" by Derek THomas - Even though Paul began by asserting Athenian worship (the fact of it being a point of contact), he did not assert its validity. Both worshiped, but this did not imply that both forms of worship were valid. Paul did not begin by finding some common ground between himself (or Christianity) and their polytheistic superstitions. p. 502
