—Acts 4:18-22
by: Maryann Palmer.
There was no refuting the miracle, and no way to punish Peter and John without creating a public uprising. The elders resorted to blustering threats.
In this world, we are not threatened with official sanction, but we are certainly encouraged to be inoffensive. I’m not advocating strident, in-your-face “evangelism.” But we do need to be talking about the things God has done in our lives. We need to fellowship with other believers and to immerse ourselves in God’s presence and Word so regularly that it seems only natural to talk about what God is doing in our lives. Isn’t that what Peter and John did?
