Hey man i really liked this post…this is something that keeps coming up with myself and friends as we journey on in life. I think it is soo important to remember, lke you said, that we are not bound to sin…we choose. In that alone there is so much freedom.

I agree that persecution is the catalyst for the church growth, and through out the text it is clearly what drives fellowships to pop all over the Mediterranean world, however I still think that while driven by persecution church planting was the vehicle to get them there.

I am intrigued by your thoughts and reflect on the passage I was reading today in 1Cor where Paul reminds them that God likes to choose the foolish things in the sight of the world so that they cannot boast. What implications do you think this passage has on Israel?

can i press you on the issue of stephen? I would contend that the growth and dispersment of the gospel has more to do with the persecution of Christians then it does with church planting. Think about all of NT references to persecution and the result and blessings associated with. COuld it be that you are bringing your own bias of church planting to the table of the text in certain areas just as much (though admitidly not as severe) as the sermon you are referencing? I dont really disagree with your overall premise but an observation on your argument.
