Event: The Apostles Persecuted
S - Scripture
Acts 5 v. 28-29 And the high priest questioned them saying, 'We strictly charged you not to teach in his name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man's blood (Jesus) on us." But Peter and the apostles answered,, "We must obey God rather than men."
O - Observation
The pecking order. Peter puts it rather bluntly. God first. Man second. This is where persecution comes to play. Man will always want to be first. Man is out to please man, I have seen it on several fronts, the absence of absolute truth. It's now relative, what works for me works for me and what works for you for you. This is the Coexistence philosophy. I see it in the social arena in regards to homosexuality and abortion. The truth is the truth. Beliefs and opinions and feelings does not change the truth.
A - Application
We will have to make a choice. God first or man.
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to always place you first. Love Will
