ACTS 10;34

 
Acts 10:34-36
The Message
Peter fairly exploded with his good news: “It’s God’s own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you’re from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open
 
 
 
I LOVE THIS PASSAGE
IT SEEMS TO SAY
WHEREVER GOOD IS FOUND
THERE GOD IS
 
IT BREAKS ECCLESIASTICAL BOUNDARIES
IT PUTS THE LIE TO THOSE WHO SAY
OUTSIDE OF US YOU’RE DEAD
IT RESTORES BENEVOLENCE TO GOD
 
WHO WOULD LOVE A GOD
WHO ONLY PRACTICES HARM
 
THOSE WHO PRACTICE GOODNESS
ARE GOD’S CHILDREN
 
THOSE WHO ARE NOT SO GOOD
ARE GOD’S CHILDREN
 
THOSE WHO ARE DELIBERATELY EVIL
ARE GOD’S D CHILDREN
 
ALL BEING DRAWN
BY THE SAME MAGNET
GOD’S LOVE FOR THEM
 
WHO ARE WE
HIS CREATURES
TO TELL HIM
WHO MAY COME INTO HIS KINGDOM
WHO ARE WE INDEED
 
A QUESTION
IF THERE WAS NO KINGDOM
WOULD YOU STILL SERVE GOD
OUT OF THANKS FOR YOUR CREATION
LIKE CHILDREN
BEING GOOD
FOR A LOLLYPOP
SHOULDN’T WE BE BETTER THAN THAT
 
AND MAKE OUR LIVES
WORTHY OF HIS CREATION
