Show Notes

Have you ever noticed how we love to blame others when things fall apart? Do you think God ever gets blamed for bad things today? When problems and bad circumstances enter people’s lives, often they will turn and blame God.
 
 But I need to tell you the truth about this…God is not the author of sin, death, confusion, and evil. God is a good and gracious God. Problems enter our lives for many reasons but most often it is from the choices we make. James 1:13-14
 
Here in Acts 21, the apostle Paul is bound with two chains by the chief captain in Jerusalem (vs. 33). This would end Paul’s public ministry as a free man. No longer would Paul have the liberty to decide where he would go and preach the gospel.

How could this happen? The greatest apostle in the New Testament was mobbed, arrested, jailed, and eventually executed. A person might ask, “Why would God do this to Paul?” Isn’t it sad that sometimes we often look to blame God? God did not do anything to Paul! Paul brought all of this on himself. Paul made a series of choices that led to all of these problems.
You must understand that every choice you make always has consequences. How can you make godly choices in your life?
