Stand for something

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; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”
Acts 5:38-39 (NKJV)

For many prophets and self proclaimed messiahs have come and gone. They go the way of all mortal being and their sects are left in disarray. Gamaliel the Pharisee and a teacher of the law in those days said of men and women of God in his days. If the work of the gospel is of men, the end result remains consistent throughout the ages, but if it is of God, it remains irrepressible and unmovable. Every doctrine, culture, way of life, powers, influence, deceit, lies, campaign, etc that confronts it will surely fail and be wasted away. Do you connive or unconsciously repress the cause and growth of God's kingdom? What side of the Kingdom are you and what cause do you uphold?

Peter and the Apostles stood for something in their day even when it wasn't cool and politically correct. What will you and I stand for? We will either stand for something or fall for everything. Stand for something sure and eternal.
