Gamaliel’s Advice

33 When they heard this, they were furious[g] and plotted to kill them. 34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, [h]take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, [i]joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. 38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; 39 but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

40 And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for [j]His name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

 

Good morning and welcome

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

        • We're in the fifties this morning, so cool but it will warm up today. They still haven't caught that shooter, Joseph Couch. Schools in the area have continued to be closed and it drags on and on. The Daniel Boone forest is huge and I don't see how the guy could have survived there for this length of time. Did you see the debate?

          • No, I didn't watch it, we were kinda busy. Check your email.

            There was another shooting? I didn't see the news yesterday so haven't heard about it. Heartbreaking!

          • The man Joseph Couch stood on a overpass shooting at cars and people were shot. None killed but wounded and then he fled into the woods.

          • That wasn't a debate, that was three on one. It has come out that Linsey Davis (debate moderator) and Kamala are sorority sisters.
            Notice how Kamala wasn't fact checked once, even though she outright lied over 30 times. Trump was reminded more than once, what the question was, Kamala wandered all over the place while dodging every question, and never held to task.

  • In this one point Gamaliel was correct. If God had not backed it under these circumstances Christianity would have failed.
    Many false religions have succeeded in the world and still continue, either where they have superseded or corrupted Christianity. So, to say that all that is not of God fails is sometimes untrue.

    ....... The Father's Beggar
    Wednesday, September 11, 2024
    A homeless man got off the train at the Pennsylvania depot. For years, he lived as a beggar on the streets. He touched a man on the shoulder and said, "Mister, can you please spare a dime?" The man turned around and the beggar recognized him as his father. "Father," he said, "don't you know me?" The father threw his arms around him and cried out, "I found you! All I have is yours!" The former beggar later gave his testimony at an evangelistic meeting and said, "Think of it. I, as a tramp, stood begging my father for 10 cents when for 18 years he'd been looking for me to give me all he had." Most people spend their lives begging for scraps of love, approval, success, attention, recognition, joy, and purpose. And all the time your heavenly Father is waiting to give you not scraps, but more love, acceptance, and joy than you could ever dream of. God didn't create you to beg. God made you to be His child. Your Father is God. Turn to Him, and He'll give you abundant life.
    From Message #1414 - Orphans of the Father
    Scripture: Matthew 6:26
    Today's Mission - Today, don't beg, live desperately, or be a victim. Look to your Father in heaven to provide for your needs for abundant life.

  • People lost jobs during the pandemic, rent was free for a time, then it wasn't. Then people were homeless and there is an exploding bunch of baby boomers and young families with children who are now homeless. At least your city is doing something for them. They've made public camping illegal in my state! What are people supposed to do? I haven't a clue either Amy.
