Is Everybody Happy? – Acts 5:41

Published in : Daily Devotional, Pastor Klueg's Devotional

RejoicingActs 5:41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. [NIV]

Comments:
With a family as large as ours (five children and their spouses, and eleven grandchildren), there are a couple of things that are nearly impossible:

1) Getting everyone together for a photograph

2) Getting every family member sitting down together for a meal, and getting through it without someone’s drink spilling, and …

3) Keeping everybody “happy” at once!
We can be together having a great time, but before long someone is crying or whining in the background, so old grandpa (that’s me) asks “Is everybody happy?” Thursday DevotionalConsider today’s verse, and you will discover that not everyone was happy when Peter and the others were flogged, threatened, and then released from their arrest.

Flogged for Christ - Acts 5:40

Iran - Desperate for God Acts 5:40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. [NIV]

Comments:
I am presently reading a book of testimonies by Iranian Christians. It is encouraging to see how the Lord is working in that country to bring people to himself. It is sobering, however, to read of the oppression some of our brothers and sisters in Christ have to endure. A Christian doctor tells of being summoned to a police station which looked like a fort, with tall walls and barbed wire. In this two story building, he said that “upstairs is where they do the interrogations,” but the lower floor is “where all the torture is going on.” He was thankfully released without being physically tortured, but others have not been so fortunate. Wednesday DevotionalWe Americans are so used to demanding (and getting) our “rights,” that we have a difficult time appreciating what it means to be flogged for Christ, and ordered to refrain from the free exercise of our faith.

Sermon for Sunday, August 31, 2008 - by Pastor Richard Klueg

 

Jesusgate

 

John the Baptist in Prison

Luke 7:18-23

 

Scandals, scandals, and more scandals

Blessed is the man who does not fall away [skandalizo] on account of me.

1. The Battle

Are you the one …?

John the Baptist - doubting

What was causing him to stumble?

What might cause us to stumble?

2. The Back-up
When you are in trouble, call for back-up!

Go back and report to John ...

The Lord “instructs” John’s doubts

3. The Blessing

Blessed is the man ...

Blessed to be right

Blessed with coming out ahead in the end

Blessed to walk with Christ day by day

How did John respond? How do you respond?

How Dumb is This? - Acts 5:39

Acts 5:39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God. [NIV]

Comments:
Check out this video of a fellow in Fort Lauderdale who came up with the bright idea of kite surfing during tropical storm Fay last week. Some have wondered why he did not let go of the kite the first time he was slammed into the ground, but unfortunately for him, he was harnessed into the kite. The report goes on to say that witnesses ran to help him as he lay crumpled on the ground in pain.

We like to think that we can handle any situation and resist any power that intrudes upon our plans, but that is simply not so. And if it is foolish to kite surf in a tornado, how much more to be found fighting against God!
