Here is today’s Bible reading:1 Kings 12:20-13:34; Acts 9:26-43; Psalm 132:1-18; Proverbs 17:6.

Acts 9:40-41 (NIV)  
    Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. [41] He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called the believers and the widows and presented her to them alive.

In the space of just a few paragraphs, Peter has healed a paralytic and raised a dead woman. The power of God was clearly evident in the early church. It was normal Christianity.  My Christian experience while culturally normal, is biblically abnormal. May God restore us to biblical normalcy.
