Where do we stand in our obedience to the call God has placed on our lives? There is coming a day when we Christians here in America will be jailed for what we believe and what we stand for. American courts are already taking a stand against Christians in the way they rule. When we call homosexuality a sin, we are accused of hate crimes against the homosexual people. Christian companies are being taken to court because of their Christian beliefs. Will this get any better, No not until Jesus Returns. We have to Pray and ask God to make us as Bold as Peter and the apostles when we are brought before the Courts. That we never waver from God's call on us , even if it means prison time or even death. That is What Jesus Would Do today!!!
27-28 Bringing them back, they stood them before the High Council. The Chief Priest said, “Didn't we give you strict orders not to teach in Jesus’ name? And here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are trying your best to blame us for the death of this man.”
29-32 Peter and the apostles answered, “It’s necessary to obey God rather than men. The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, the One you killed by hanging him on a cross. God set him on high at his side, Prince and Savior, to give Israel the gift of a changed life and sins forgiven. And we are witnesses to these things. The Holy Spirit, whom God gives to those who obey him, corroborates every detail.”
