Act 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. Act 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
We have recorded here a very tragic event. Saul, and his associates persecuted the Christians in the early morning church, breaking into their houses and hauling both men and women off to prison for their faith. Yet we see that God was able to take this tragic event and use it to the spreading of the gospel. God is yet able to use events designed to destroy His work to actually further the gospel. Keep trusting, keep looking to Him, keep working, even in discouraging and difficult times. God is still God and is still able to cause His kingdom to advance even in adversity. Keep your faith and hope.
