Not much is known about Philip the Evangelist. What is known, however, is a challenge to us and our personal walk with the Lord and the outworking of our ministries. Philip's life and ministry speak to us about the issue of success, the leading and timing of the Lord, and faithfulness even when unnoticed. I have been challenge as I have studied the brief details of the life of this important man of God. The goal of this study is to examine the life of this deacon in the Jerusalem church, and to see what his life and ministry teaches us about our service and personal walk with the Lord. I trust Philip's life will be an inspiration.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6The world is in a turbulent place of chaos and war. Could this uncertain time be calling out for us to seek answers from the Biblical past? The Lord sent down a warning to the people of Israel that their disobedience and idol worship would bring sudden destruction upon them. When Israel refused Jesus as their savior, God allowed the Gentiles the opportunity to receive salvation. Philip was one of the seven men who were chosen to serve in the church. In Acts 6, we learn that Philp was selected to be a Deacon. The Gospel of Christ Jesus must go into all nations before the return of Christ. As we see, our world is separated. Could this be a sign to ask for our God's saving grace? Is this his way to ask us to invite him into our hearts?

A Proverb a Day Keeps the Devil Away applies the principles of God found in the Book of Proverbs to daily living. Illustrations are used to trigger the memories of its readers to past and present experiences in life; hopefully, causing the lesson of each devotion to profoundly impact the reader. These illustrations stem from relationships, home, work, play, decisions, reactions, thoughts, injustice and justice. Some are humorous and some very serious. Each one demonstrates the theme of that verse. The Book of Proverbs is as timely as time itself. Times have changed but people have not. They still face the hard issues of life: the same fears and hurts, the same temptations and sin, the same struggle with what is right and wrong, and the same questions about what role God really plays in their life. This devotional study aids its readers in getting a grip on these challenges. Philip Ayers was born in Roanoke, Virginia, on March 2nd, 1948. He is the second born of a family of five.
