—Acts 5:27-32
by: Gabi Patz.
Who controls you? While you may not be physically controlled by another person, our actions are often dictated by fear of what others will think of us. Acts 5:27-32 reminds us to seek the approval of God, not man. The apostles were threatened by the Council, but they did not back down because they knew the gospel was more important. Why would they fear man when they had God on their side? The same is true for us. While we may not be put on trial and forced to denounce our faith, the way we talk and act speaks directly to our faith. Are you living for God or for man?
