“Conviction” is a significant word, isn’t it? Have you ever been convicted of something so powerfully that it changed your life? Yesterday I left you in chaotic Jerusalem, with a huge crowd of people mesmerized by the disciple Peter and a brief but very powerful message he spontaneously gave which explained the miracle of Pentecost to those stunned Jews who had come running from all directions, ‘amazed and perplexed’ by what they heard and saw!
