NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME
Acts 20:22-27
Dr. Vines 4/26/87
I have come to the conclusion that the greatest adventure any person
will ever experience is to live for the Lord Jesus Christ. There is more
excitement, more thrill, more joy, ultimate fulfillment in a life that is
lived totally for the Lord Jesus Christ than anything else I know. It is
greater than the challenge of a mountain climber. It is more exhilarating than

for him, became a sacred trust and he said, "I have been committed with the

commitment into the hearts and lives of every person with whom I come in
contact. Paul, the great man that he was, shows us what it means to be totally
100% dedicated, all out for the Lord Jesus Christ. In these words which Paul
speaks to the people there, he lays bare his heart. He is aware of the fact
that he is on his way to the city of Jerusalem. There is an atmosphere of
uncertainty about his journey. His circumstances were rather complicated ...
