Book of Acts

The 9th chapter of Acts tells the story of Saul, later Paul.  At times God slowly sneaks up in our lives and other times he abruptly intrudes into our plans. God intruded on Saul's plans to go on a rampage of persecution against Christians.
 
A quote from The Applause of Heaven by Max Lucado:
"The message is gripping.  Show a man his failures without Jesus, and the result will be found in the roadside gutter.  Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three-piece suit.  But get the two in the same heart, get sin to meet Savior and Savior to meet sin, and the result just might be another Saul who sets the world on fire."
