Led By The Spirit

Acts 13:1-3 - Paul and the early church were "led by the Spirit." What did this mean for them and what does it mean for us today? Theologian Gordon Fee says: If you had asked Paul to define what a Christian is, he would not have said, “A Christian is a person who believes X and Y doctrines about Christ,” but “A Christian is a person who walks in the Spirit, who knows Christ.” He wouldn’t have denied the importance of doctrine, but it would not have been the first thing he would have mentioned.
