OBEY GOD NOT MAN!!

"We ought to obey God rather than men". Acts 5:27. Deciding what is right or wrong is usually not too difficult. Finding the courage to act on such a decision is often extremely difficult. Fear of disapproval or scorn sometimes cause one to hesitate to act positively. Often time the temptation is to go along with "everybody is doing it, I don't want to be a square, it's legal, time has changed, it's simply matter of business, nobody is perfect, or what would people think? My friend, do you have the courage to stand for God and do things in the right way? The Jewish Sanhedrin had arrested Jesus' apostles again and put them in prison and asked them "Did we not strictly commanded you not to teach in His name?". For that Peter and apostles answered and said, "We ought to obey God rather than men". In the Old Testament Prophet Samuel commanded King Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites as God commanded. Saul did not! Saul admitted that he "feared the people and obey their voice". He lost his position as the first king of Israel. But King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon ordered all inhabitants of his empire to bow down and worship a golden image. The three Hebrew young men refused and did not bow down. They did not submit to the decree of the king. But God spared their lives from the hot furnace of the earthly king. Hey, God blesses those who boldly choose to do His will, despite the unpleasantries that they might have to endure. Bro: Stand for the truth, and God! He will honor you in the midst of your enemies. Praying for you my friend!!
