The Words of Truth & Reason

In verse 24 we find Festus saying with a loud voice – Paul you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad! And Paul said to him – I am not mad, most noble Festus. I am speaking the words of truth and reason to you. It is these words that I want to preach to you from at this time. Because sometimes, if we are zealous to speak or promote the truth of Christ and the Bible, we also may be seen by people as being out of our minds. And so, I want to show you now, that the same reasons that Paul gave these men, in defending himself from this charge, are the same reasons that we should give to people who think that we are crazy, when we share the gospel with them. Let's see if we can learn and grow together in terms of the things that we should share with other people.
