As read in ACTS, Life Lessons, by Max Lucaso:
 
" The book of Acts does not really end here.  The record ceases but the acts of the disciples go on, down through the ages.  Just as Jesus promised, the fragile group of men and women that gathered in Jerusalem had been given power to become effective witnesses, sometimes even against their wishes.  They left a legacy of faith for us to live out and pass on.  No matter what circumstances Paul found himself in, he knew God was with him, following him every step.  It was his role to run the race and keep the faith by sharing it with others.  God wants to work in us and through us even when the storms and shipwrecks of life come.
