The worker God uses in the age of conflict
Acts 1:1~2 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

What kind of person does God use in the most important way? What people have most are conflicts. There are conflicts within nations and society, and there are many cases in which there are more conflicts than grace in a church. For this reason, many people say that it is the “age of turmoil.” There are people who characteristically or naturally make conflicts or easily fall into conflict; they can be at a great loss. Luke the physician wrote the Book of Acts. The time of the Early Church was a serious time period. In this age of great turmoil, the worker whom God used greatly was Luke.
1. Person who acts as a bridge
Luke who wrote the Book of Acts played the role of a bridge between the important individual named Theophilus and the Gospel. There needs to be a bridge between God and mankind. The original bridge is Jesus Christ, but it is important that we play this role. Also, there needs to be a person who acts as a bridge between important people. When you have conflicts as you work, you need someone to function as a bridge. In both the church and the field, God will greatly bless the person who acts as a bridge.
2. Person who is considerate
Theophilus was a renowned person at the time and could not easily come to the Early Church. Luke recorded the important Gospel and answers of the church in letters for Theophilus, and this is the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Luke was fully considerate of Theophilus’ position and situation. People usually think and talk only from their own standpoint, but those who were greatly used by God were people who were deeply considerate of others. A representative figure of this is David, for he was considerate of King Saul in everything because David knew Saul was in difficulty. Also, Paul acted like a Jew before Jews and like a person without the Gospel before people without the Gospel. ]
3. Person who receives the guidance of the Holy Spirit
There is something more important than being a bridge and being considerate in the age of turmoil, and that is being a person who receives the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then you can save all fields and people. Do not forget that people who have received salvation have the right and privilege to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is the identity of those who have been saved. How can you receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Do not worry or be troubled or have unbelief, but believe that the Counselor Holy Spirit is inside of us. If you continuously receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then the works of being filled with the Holy Spirit will arise.
- What kind of person am I? Am I in the midst of conflict, or am I a person who acts as a bridge, is considerate of others, and receives the guidance of the Holy Spirit?
