I was so excited when my son found a couple of boxes containing some of my favorite books! The little book, "Sunrise in Canaan" has a holiness scripture verse and comments for every day in the year. I hope to share some of them from time to time.
In Acts 5:29, we read: "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
"Peter and John had been in prison. An angel had delivered them. At once, they returned to the Temple and commenced anew to preach Jesus. The rulers asked the reason why, when they had been "straitly charged not to teach this Name?" This was their heroic answer: "We must obey God rather than men." Pentecost gives loyalty to God, which is proof against unholy authorities and prison rigors. Let us be clad in Pentecostal armor!"
--George Hughes
Give me Thy strength, O God of power,
Then let winds blow, and thunders roar --
Thy faithful witness will I be:
'Tis fixed; I can do all through Thee.
