Acts 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.

When we go forward and do things for Christ we should be careful not to get carried away and do things for ourselves.

Many times we like to stretch the truth in our own stories; we should not be doing so for God. Our God is holy and just meaning He does not do things wrong and He upholds His rules!

Just because people do not like us doing things for God should not stop us from doing so: Stand Up! Stand Up! For Jesus!

Acts 5:25 So one came and told them, saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”

How willing are you to totally trust Christ for everything every day? We should all be totally committed to trusting Christ just as these disciples were.

Even when they were locked away in prison, God got them out so they would continue their work.

When we are given a commission we need to follow God’s lead and do what He says – He will be there every step of the way!

Acts 5:20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

What are you going to do if God asks you to step forward into the spotlight?

I used to be shy with telling people I trust and believe in Christ but soon found out how much more enjoyment I get out of telling people rather than keeping quiet!

Peter went to many lengths to get others to listen and hear about Christ. We need to step forward with the knowledge we have, no matter how small, and share it with those around us.

God has put us here for a reason.

Acts 5:18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.

How far are you willing to go when questioned about God? Are you willing to stand firm in your faith and your beliefs and uphold the truth or are you going to cave under pressure?

I’m sure we all answer “I will stand firm” until the going does get tough; then many of us cave in just as Peter did and blend into the background.

Don’t be a shadow, be a light, a bright light shining in the darkness for all to see and all to share!
