STILL PREACHIN
Stanley Hamilton
(ACTS 5:29) "The Peter and the other apostles replied, " we must obey God rather than men."
While Christians are instructed to respect and obey authorities, THER ARE EXCEPTIONS. The exceptions come when authorities command Christians to commit acts which are CONTRARY to God's commandments.
(Ex. 1) Pharaoh commanded all male children be aborted at birth. Certain midwives did not obey and Moses was spared. "Therefore (v20) God dealt well with the midwives." King Darius (Daniel 6) commanded that there was to be NO PRAYER for 30 days, Daniel was reported, because he continued to pray 3 times daily, before an open window. He was cast into a den of lions, but God sent an angel to protect him, (Daniel 3) Three friends of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into a furnace, because they would not obey the king's command to bow to an idol, Jesus jumped in with them. (Acts 4) Peter and others were commanded not to preach again, in the name of Jesus. (Acts 5:25) says, "Behold, the men whom ye PUT IN PRISON, are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. When confronted, Peter replied, "We ought to obey God rather than men."
Today we are being commanded, by law, not to attend church, to remove the 10 commandments from public places remove nativity scenes from public properties, not to wear "Jesus" shirts to school, accept the legalized murder of babies, honor homosexuality, and anything else the devil can think of.
Christians must make some choices. Remain silent....or stand up and speak out against evil laws. The devil's
crew is working up to start a great persecution . The church (Christians) need to prepare!
Who will YOU obey?
