Acts 23:29 "False Religious Principles" (July 22)

Acts 23:29 ~ Paul was accused because of questions about the law.  You don't expect within the four walls of the church to be ridiculed and hated and beaten and judged severely for following Christ. The Saducees followed false religious principles.  Hard to believe how hateful they could be holding on to ideas guarded by men.  Never dreamed that your opposition would come from church members but it did, it still does.  What will we do with it for there are no churches or church people who do it right.  May we be more concerned about what is going on inside of our own hearts than what is going on inside of the church walls.  When we stand before Him at the last judgment, we will be asked about what we did----not what our parents, our children, our ministers, our friends did.  We may be a product of our home life but what stirs in your heart this day either leads you into the direction of holiness or destruction.
