Close OF Paul's Third Missionary
Journey.-Acts xxi:1-17.
Golden Textile will of the Lord
be done.-Acts xxi:14.
Verses 1-3-Where was Paul bound
for?
Had Paul clearly received Divine
instructions to go to Jerusalem or was
he simply gratifying his own desires
(See Acts xx:16, 1928.
If devoted man has longing to go
to place, or to do thing, is it safe
for him to conclude that the longing
is of God?
Because there Is danger involved In
a journey. or an enterprise, in connec'
ton with our religion, should We allow
our chivalry alone to be the incentive
for us to undertake it?
Is there any ground for the opinion
that good men have sometimes rushed
unnecessarily into danger?
Verse If Christians have to tarry
in a town should they hunt up the
followers of Jesus?
If these disciples were told through
the Spirit" that Paul should not 60
up to Jerusalem why did he not heed
them?
If there is no record that Paul had a
direct call from God to go up to Jeru.
salem; would that, taken in connection
with what these disciples said, indicate
that Paul was doing wrong in going?
Is there danger that good men may
be led by rfous impulses, to do un-
wise things, which they could be saved
from II they waited to cool off, and
to Get the mind of God? (This ques-
tion must be answered in writing by
members of the cIub.)
If it should prove that Paul was
wrong in going to Jerusalem, which
finally led to his martyrdom, would
that in any way lessen our respect for
him. or lessen his influence upon the
world?
Verses 81 Should the children
always be taken to church and to all
religious gatherings!
Should a company Of Christians,
when bidding good bye to one another
on the wharf, or at the railway sta
ton, feel as free to get down on their
knees and pray. as they are to stand
and shake hands?
Why is it that Christians are not as
willing to be seen talking to God, or
praying, on the street, as they are to
be seen talking to their fellows?
Verses S-9-Who was Philip, and
for what one thing is ne distinguished
in this gospel story?
Should Christian parents train their
children from infancy to know God, to
be skilful in prayer, in faith, and In
good works?
Is there not way for parents tC
train their children, so that the prom
Use can be realized with absolute GER
tainty in Joel 2:2S. Your sons and
your daughters shall phophesy?
Which is the more desirable, to have
a son, or a daughter noted for spirit
uality and soul saving, or for money
making?
Verses 11-12-Did this noted prophet
Agabus (See Acts xi:27-2S) join with
the rest of the saints in saying, that
the Holy Spirit told them, that Paul
ought not to go to Jerusalem?
Is there any way to consistently
suppose that both parties to this loving
controversy were right?
Suppose Agabus and the others were
right in persuading Paul not to go to
Jerusalem, but that Paul still thought
he ought to go, what would be Paul's
duty in the circumstances?
If good man says he has a message
from God for us. are we under obliga'
ton to obey whether our judgment
may concur or not?
Verses 13-17-Can you recall in all
history A greater example of fortitude
and bravery than here displayed by
Paul?'
