. . . . “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:28-29)
It's easy to be Godly in church on SONday. It's not a real challenge to be Godly around CHRISTian friends. Yet what do we say and do when we are in the world and surrounded by the unsaved and unchurched?
Peter and the others refused to fit in with the Jewish leaders. The were not going to be politically correct. They did not riot or go to social media to whine and complain, they simply honored God and did the things He said to do. They did not compromise. They suffered consequences . . . yes, even death!
Are we willing to suffer the consequences of living for the Lord or have we slowly become a comfortable Christian?
