Peter explained to the Jerusalem Church how God lead him to baptize the first gentile Christians. Part of his concluding statement in Acts 11:17 was “could I withstand God?”
Jesus taught many lessons when he was training the apostles. Lessons that Churches of God need to remember. Listen to the Sabbath sermon, for further explanation.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
What thing soever I (GOD) command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Prayer plays such an important part in our relationship with God, it is important to periodically take a good inventory of how our prayer life is progressing.
Here are a few suggestions to help us all do just that!
We certainly want God to hear our prayers, just as the Psalmist prayed in Psalm 54:2 “Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.”
Please check out our Sermon entitled, “Prayer and Praise.” We have provided the link for you. We hope you will let the BIBLE SPEAK to you through this informative message. Sermon: Prayer and Praise
The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus Christ) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Too many in our society have CHOSEN to believe there is no God. How sad for them! The BIBLE SPEAKS to those willingly ignorant individuals in Romans through the Apostle Paul. Those people are in fact totally without excuse in their foolish belief, because all that exists testifies to God’s glory and goodness. Creation itself is God’s witness of His existence.
ROMANS 1:18-22 (KJV) (18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
