Your story on trial

Today: Acts 24-26

When I was in college writing classes, the professors--especially those who taught journalism courses--taught us, "Everybody has a story." They're right.

In today's passage, it struck me just how many times Paul had to tell his story...the before and after story of his life with Jesus...while on trial.

You and I probably aren't in a courtroom today, but our stories are on trial. People watch who we are, how we struggle, what we're like under pressure, how we treat others and how we respond to success. Does your story hold up in that kind of court?

To be totally honest, no one's could every single day. But that's the good thing about our
stories--they're continually evolving.

Tomorrow: Acts 27-28
