THE COUNTDOWN TO THE BREAK UP OF
THE EURO HAS OFFICIALLY BEGIN
The results of the elections in France and Greece have made it abundantly clear that there is a tremendous backlash against the austerity approach that Germany has been pushing. All over Europe, prominent politicians and incumbent political parties are being voted out. In fact, Nicolas Sarkozy has become the 11th leader of a European nation to be defeated in an election since 2008. We have seen governments fall in the Netherlands, the UK, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Greece. Whenever they get a chance, the citizens of Europe are using the ballot box to send a message that they do not like what is going on. It turns out that austerity is extremely unpopular.

So the question must be asked, 'does this verse give us permission to tell God what to do'?

GOD CHANGED SAUL OF TARSUS'S NAME? REALLY!
Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us how or when Saul's name was changed to Paul. In the book of Acts we do find Saul identified as the one who is also called Paul.
WHY IS ALL THIS IMPORTANT?
Well, just a little bit off course without course correction can lead to another destination. Paul never converted to Christianity. It's a biblical fact. "I am a Jew," the Apostle Paul insisted in Acts 21:39 and again in Acts 22:3. "I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees," he said in Acts 23:6.
