Superficiality can’t be solved glibly or easily
- David Phillips •
- 2 October 2015
You’ve reached the end of a fantastic study. The group has been engaged, asking good questions; you feel like you’re seeing a group of people keen to apply the word of God to their lives. You reach the application questions. And nothing. No one comes up with anything.

When I glance around my church during the sermon, I don’t see many moving pens or pencils. I do see lots of open Bibles, and a couple of people furiously typing with their thumbs.

In fact, recent data by the Weekly Number demonstrates that gender inequality directly correlates to religious freedom—where gender inequality is higher, so is religious persecution.

I am currently preaching through the book of Acts. It is my second time preaching through this book, and I love it! I just recently finished preaching through Acts 11:19-30: the formation of the church in Antioch. This account is one that has always intrigued me.
