Early Converts At Philippi

We are musing these days from Philippians 0n the  theme of prison experiences. Paul’s foundation converts would not be our choice for building a church. In Acts 16:14 we find a wealthy sinner. Lydia a seller of purple is the wealthy lady whom the Lord opened her heart. We can’t open our own heart, there is no door knob on our side. The second convert in Acts 16 :16-19 is a worthless sinner. She is a demon possessed girl, whom Paul cast the devil out of. The third convert is a wicked sinner. In Acts 16:30 God saved the jailer and all his family. This motley crew laid the foundation for one of Paul’s favorite churches. God still saves old sinners. He may shut us up in prison situations that He might set others free.
