"Then one of the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel....And he said to them: 'Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men....And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this is the plan or work 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 5:34a, 35, 38-39
I need to remember this wise advice. I am prone to criticize some of the practices and teachings of ministries that do not fit into my frame of reference. So I disparage them just like some people do regarding Pentecostals who speak in tongues. Those things I cannot agree with, I need to "keep away from and let them alone" and commit them to God, lest I be guilty of fighting against God.
Today's Thought: I need to be careful about criticizing the doctrines and practices of other Christians that do I do not agree with,
because they may be of God and I may be wrong.
Have a wise day. Love you.
