Acts 5:1-6 NIV
Acts 5:7-14 NIV
Our God is a JEALOUS God...and that is a GREAT THING.
The Bible talks a lot about MONEY because God wants our HEART, not our WALLET.
This was an issue of HYPOCRISY and LYING, not FINANCES.
We cannot HIDE from God.
The closer we are to GRACE, the greater the OFFENSE OF SIN
Fear is a part of WORSHIP.
Sin is a DEADLY SERIOUS matter to God
‘We forget that God’s patience is designed to lead us to repentance, not to help us become bolder in our sin.’
R.C. Sproul
