My two-year-old daughter, Olivia, loves to drive the car. She loves to sit behind the wheel. She turns all the buttons and knobs, opens and closes the garage door, and occasionally beeps the horn. She will do this for 30 minutes. But, the entire time she's driving, the car goes nowhere. In Olivia's case, this is a good thing. (I've already got two teenagers ready to bring terror to the streets. I don't need a toddler doing the same.) A toddler shouldn't actually move a car. But, if an adult sits behind the wheel, we expect the car to go somewhere. The same thing can be said about your life as a Christ-follower. Christians should move forward. The Gospel is like high-octane racing fuel. It propels us forward. On Sunday, we're going to resume our series "Acts: The Church Unleashed." As we enter this middle section of the book of Acts, I want to introduce you to a guy named Simon the Sorcerer. His experience with the Apostles teaches us how to move forward in our walks with Christ. The Gospel really is good news.
