Doing what God says...

Recently, as I preach from the book of Acts...
I have determined to speak what the Bible says
about the book of Acts. It may sound very obvious but
the truth of the matter is, it's sometimes really tough
to speak the plain truth to the students, because
it is very tough for them to chew... some of which
I feel like I am hurting them.. (well .. God is)

Today, I loved the last verse that says,
"Must I not speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?"
As Christians, we tend to compromise a lot of things..
evangelism, fear of the Lord, being Christ-like...
we tend to walk away from these ideas, so that
we can fit in in both the world and church doors at the same time!

I think it's time for me, ry, all of us to re think of how serious
God's matters actually are. As I am sharing from Acts these days,
I am really touched by a phrase in Acts 1:6 when the disciples as
if Jesus will at last.. finally going to restore the Kingdom of Israel.
Jesus' answer is very plain, be only concerned with Kingdom of God..
Kingdom is Israel is for God to determine!!

I think we all have our own Kingdoms that we want to have.
Just like disciples, we want to create our best lives, our best Kingdom
with our desires put in place.
It's time for all of us to get to basics...
"Must we not do what God has laid in our hearts, what God speaks of
in the Bible?"

Let's all be enriching agents for this world..
By the way, today's See you at the pole was a great turnout !!
God took our prayers.. and kids' prayers.. we are a step
closer to high school evangelism !!
