Acts 28:2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain… Philip Henry's advice to his daughter was: "If you would keep warm in this cold season (January, 1692), take these four directions: 1. Get into the sun. Under his blessed beams there are warmth and comfort. 2. Go near the fire." "Is not My Word like a fire?" How many cheering passages are there! 3. Keep in motion and action — stirring up the grace and gift of God that is in you. 4. Seek Christian communion. How can one be warm alone? (C. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. |
