Pride
Matthew 23:2Acts 2:41; 3:7, 26; 4:1-3, 16-17 – The miracle had taken place and could not be denied, but out of pride they tried to stop the spread of the truth. Acts 5:17; 2:37Acts 7:54 – Pride makes us look at truth and deny it.Maybe something about obeying God hurts our pride.Every great question got that way swallowing their pride!I like things the way they are
Acts 19:1-10, 19-20, 23-32 – The gospel threatened their way of life! The temple of Artemis was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.Romans 13:13 – These are things we must give up when we turn to Christ.I Timothy 5:16I won’t get past the “almost”
Acts 26:4-11, 18-20, 26-29 – King Agrippa was almost persuaded to be a Christian.Maybe we know the truth but are too laid back about applying it.II Peter 3:10There won’t be a worse feeling in the universe than not being prepared for the afterlife!
