“Suddenly there was an earthquake so violent that the foundation stones of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.” Acts 16:26
I’ve been praying for a good shakeup. Something happening in my life, and in the life of our country, that would cause a shift in the foundation stones of fear and dismay I find building up around us.
Resurrection is about just that. Not only the rolling away of the stones that keep us shut up in the places of death and distrust. but the shaking of the foundation stones that prop up prisons of ignorance and greed.
Paul and Silas find themselves in prison because they are accused of interfering with a sort of 1st Century crony capitalism built on a foundation of the enslavement of some for the aggrandizement of a few. The earthquake came because that’s the sort of thing that God just can’t stand.
See you Sunday,
