		<title>Stubborn Independence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:28–31  Rather than considering yourself (even secretly) indispensable, remind yourself often, It&#8217;s the Lord&#8217;s work to be done the Lord&#8217;s way. I first heard that principle from Francis Schaeffer while attending one of his lectures. There he stood in knickers and a turtleneck sweater, delivering this very message to]]></description>

		<title>Humble Reliance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:28–31  Wasn&#8217;t it a waste of great talent for God to put Paul on hold? Not at all. Wasn&#8217;t Tarsus a strange assignment? Not if He wanted him to be prepared to write the letter to the Romans. Not if he would have any lasting impact on the backsliding]]></description>

		<title>The Value of Others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:28–31 The Message, Eugene Peterson&#8217;s paraphrase, wraps up this part of the narrative nicely: &#8220;Things calmed down after that and the church had smooth sailing for a while. All over the country—Judea, Samaria, Galilee—the church grew. They were permeated with a deep sense of reverence for God. The Holy]]></description>

		<title>Son of Encouragement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:26–30  The disciples feared Saul. They couldn&#8217;t bring themselves to believe he was a disciple. &#8220;But Barnabas . . . &#8220;  Isn&#8217;t that a great opening? Out of nowhere comes Barnabas to encourage Saul and be his personal advocate. How did Barnabas know Saul needed his help? We don&#8217;t]]></description>

		<title>A Lesser Known</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:26–30 Act two of the drama opens with, &#8220;When he came to Jerusalem . . . &#8221; (v. 26). Jerusalem! Saul owned Jerusalem. He went to graduate school in that great town. I mean, the man knew that old city like the back of his hand—every alleyway, every narrow passage,]]></description>

		<title>Slow Down!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Galatians 1:11–17 Part of the solution is to pursue the benefits of solitude and silence found in times of obscurity. For the first time in seven years, I took six weeks off one summer. No preaching, no writing, no counseling, no speaking engagements . . . no nothing. I focused on]]></description>

		<title>Desert Retreat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:20–25; Galatians 1:11–17 I&#8217;m convinced it was there, in that barren place of obscurity, that Paul developed his theology. He met God, intimately and deeply. Silently and alone, he plumbed the unfathomable mysteries of sovereignty, election, depravity, the deity of Christ, the miraculous power of the Resurrection, the Church,]]></description>

		<title>A Forgotten Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:20–25 The transformation is stunning. Saul, no doubt with blood stains still on his garment from Christians he had tortured, now stood with arms outstretched announcing, &#8220;I&#8217;m here to testify to you that Jesus is the Messiah, God&#8217;s Son.&#8221; And the people who heard it were amazed. The Greek]]></description>

		<title>Stepping Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:10–21  Stepping out in faith always brings clarification of God&#8217;s plan. When Ananias went to see Saul, he received additional information. As Saul submitted himself to the ministry of Ananias, he found out more about God&#8217;s plan for his life. &#8220;You&#8217;re a chosen vessel of Mine. I&#8217;m going to]]></description>

		<title>Surprising Elements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:10–21 Surprises are always part of God&#8217;s leading. In Saul&#8217;s case, the surprise came in the form of a light from heaven, marking a life-changing transformation. For Ananias, it was a seemingly unreasonable and illogical command from the Lord, delivered in a vision. If you&#8217;re waiting on God to]]></description>
