Be careful when people try to put you on a pedestal. There is only One deserving of worship, but pride often tempts us to take some of the credit for ourselves. Herod thought he was all that and a bag of chips, and the Scripture says that he was struck with illness because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving glory to God. We just read where Peter refused to accept worship from Cornelius, and there are several accounts of angels refusing worship from the people to whom they were sent to deliver a message. As Jesus reminded the devil in Luke 4:8:

“Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ””

Ambition is a tricky thing. On the one hand, it is okay to be ambitious for good, yet we must be careful not to be ambitious for self. Some find their self-worth in ambitious pursuits. The problem with that is, what happens to our self-worth if our pursuits do not pan out? Our self-worth must be found in the Lord Himself. Our concern needs to be more with what He thinks than with what the world thinks.

True humility is not denying our gifts, abilities, or accomplishments; it is recognizing where they came from. Every good thing we have is a gift from God. When we understand that, it becomes much easier to give Him the glory He deserves. The applause of people is fleeting, but the approval of God is eternal. Rather than seeking recognition for ourselves, our goal should be to point others to Christ, knowing that apart from Him we can do nothing, but through Him all things are possible.

Pride seeks the spotlight, but humility points to the One who gave us the ability to shine. Whether God entrusts us with great influence or quiet service, our responsibility remains the same: give Him the glory. When our identity is rooted in Christ rather than in accomplishments, success will not inflate us, and failure will not destroy us.

Sunday 5/31/26 - The Four Questions

05/30/2026

Speaking of Peter here, the angel had just sprung him from jail and left him in the middle of the street. Thankfully, Peter caught on quickly and realized it wasn’t a dream. He went to the home of Mary, John Mark’s mother, where several believers were gathered in prayer.

I feel for Rhoda, for she has gotten a bad rap throughout history as the one who didn’t open the door for Peter. Being so overjoyed at hearing his voice, she ran to tell the others but forgot to open the door, leaving him exposed out in the street. Yet here they all were, praying for something to happen—and it did—and they didn’t believe Rhoda.

How many times have we done the same thing? We pray for something, God answers, and yet we struggle to believe it. We even declare our disbelief by saying, “I can’t believe it!” We must be careful not to miss God’s answers, realizing they do not always come in the way we expect.

I love the next statement: “Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking.” This is one of those moments where I can almost picture Jesus shaking His head with a gentle chuckle. I wonder how many times we have caused the same reaction from the Lord?

Those at Mary’s house were obviously overjoyed when they finally opened the door and saw that it was indeed Peter, so much so that he had to quiet them down. There was no sense in alerting others to his presence, or he might end up right back where he had been before. He then left and went to another place, though Scripture does not tell us where.

There was quite a reckoning the next morning when Peter was found missing. Scripture says that Herod conducted a thorough search for him, and when he could not be found, he interrogated the guards and sentenced them to death. It must have sounded like a fanciful tale to Herod, but the reality was that God had intervened. Sadly for the soldiers, the consequences were severe, even though Peter’s escape was entirely beyond their control.

This passage reminds us that God is able to answer our prayers in ways that exceed our expectations. The believers were faithfully praying for Peter’s deliverance, yet when the answer came knocking at the door, they struggled to believe it. How often do we do the same? May we not only pray with faith, but also watch with expectation, trusting that God is at work even when His answers arrive in surprising ways.

As was mentioned yesterday, prayer opens the door for great things to happen. Here we have Peter chained between two soldiers—sleeping! Peter’s calmness, to the point where he could sleep so soundly, is a testament to his surrendered will to the purpose and plan of the Father. Everything was going to be okay, no matter how this situation unfolded.

So soundly was Peter sleeping that the angel who came to break him out had to strike him on the side to wake him up, and miraculously, his chains fell off.

Peter thought he was dreaming, but the angel gave him specific instructions about putting on his outer garment and sandals, and off they went, passing by two fully manned guard posts and through the iron gate leading to the city, which opened by itself—all completely undetected. Several miraculous things were taking place here.

Peter didn’t realize it was really happening until the angel suddenly departed, leaving him alone in the middle of the street.

If God needs to deliver us from our circumstances, He can and He will. Think of the Exodus, where God miraculously delivered His people from slavery in Egypt. Think of the account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They were facing certain death in the fiery furnace by order of King Nebuchadnezzar, yet who showed up in the middle of the fire? Think of Daniel, facing certain death in the lions’ den, only to be delivered by an angel who shut the lions’ mouths. Think of the Apostle John, whom the Roman Emperor Domitian tried to execute by throwing him into a vat of boiling oil, only for him to emerge unharmed.

Last but not least, think of Jesus, who had to endure the cross and die, yet was raised from the dead to deliver mankind from the clutches of the devil. God knows how to deliver His people.

I think Peter was fully prepared in his heart to die for the Lord, which would explain his ability to sleep so peacefully. But God had more for him to do. We each need to get to that place in our walks and in our hearts where, as Jesus said in the Garden, we can pray:

“He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭39‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Those are simple words to read, but they are often difficult words to live. Surrendering our will to God requires trust. It means believing that His wisdom is greater than our understanding, His timing is better than our timetable, and His purposes are higher than our personal desires.

That kind of confidence does not come from knowing what tomorrow holds; it comes from knowing Who holds tomorrow. Peter could sleep because he trusted God. If deliverance came, God would be glorified. If martyrdom came, God would still be glorified. Peter had already settled the issue of lordship in his heart.

How different our lives would be if we lived with that same confidence. How much anxiety, fear, and worry would disappear if we truly believed that God is in control and that nothing can touch our lives apart from His knowledge and permission. This does not mean we will never face difficulties, but it does mean we never face them alone.

The same God who delivered Israel from Egypt, protected Daniel in the lions’ den, walked with the Hebrew children through the fire, released Peter from prison, and raised Jesus from the dead is still at work today. He has not changed. He is still faithful, still powerful, and still able to deliver His people according to His perfect will.

05/28/2026

There is something deeply wrong when people choose to celebrate the death of an innocent man. Why is it that the forerunners of change are often the first to die for the very change they propose, yet when history finally catches up to them, they are honored? It happened to the prophets in the Old Testament, it happened to Jesus, and now it was happening to the Apostles.

Change never comes easy for some people. Many prefer things the way they are and do not want anyone rocking the boat. Yet how do we improve without change? What benefits one group is not always beneficial to another, and those profiting from the current system are rarely eager to make changes that would help those being victimized by it. One only has to look at present-day politics to see how true that is.

Herod kills James and intends to do the same with Peter. He places him under heavy guard in prison, yet there is one thing that stands out in this account. Scripture states:

“But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.”

Never discount the power of prayer, and never underestimate the multiplied power of unified, earnest, corporate prayer.

Consider the words of James, the Lord’s brother, in James 5:16:

“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”

Peter is about to receive a visitation that is going to create quite a stir in the city, but as we can see, following the Lord is not without cost. James has already paid the ultimate price for his faith, and Peter now sits in prison awaiting what appears to be a similar fate. The Christian life has never been a promise of comfort or safety, but rather a call to faithfulness regardless of the consequences.

Yet in the middle of persecution, opposition, and uncertainty, the church did not panic—they prayed. They understood that some battles cannot be won through human strength, influence, or political power alone. Some victories only come through earnest prayer and complete dependence upon God.

Following Christ may cost us something, and for some throughout history, it has cost them everything. Yet the early church understood that persecution was not a reason to retreat, but a reason to press even deeper into prayer and dependence upon God. When circumstances seem impossible, prayer reminds us that God is still greater than every earthly authority, every prison, and every threat.

Wednesday Night 5/27/26

05/27/2026

Antioch has the unique distinction of being the place where believers were first called Christians. Barnabas went to look for Saul of Tarsus and brought him back to Antioch, where the two spent a year teaching these new disciples the ways of the Lord.

We see here that the gifts of the Spirit and the offices of Jesus—Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher—were still in full operation, as the Scriptures say that “prophets” came from Jerusalem. Agabus, in particular, prophesied about a severe famine that was coming upon the land. As a true community of believers should, when they heard this, they sent a monetary gift with Paul and Barnabas to be delivered to the elders in Jerusalem in order to bless and help those in need.

When you think about the purpose of the church and what we are here for, it is to be a blessing to our communities. The other day, I was listening to someone speak about Veteran services, and he emphatically stated that the focus of Veteran services should be—tada—the veterans. Veterans come first. Yet, how often do these nonprofits lose focus and become about something else? It is called mission drift.

This got me thinking about the church and its function. The focus of the church should be the lost, yet somehow it is very easy for the message to get lost in building projects, fundraising, and supporting the machine instead of supporting the Kingdom. It is always good to ask ourselves, “How are we making an impact for the Kingdom of God?”

Consider Ephesians 4:11-12:

“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.”

The office gifts are meant to teach and train the church—everyday believers—to go out and do the work of the ministry. Church is an equipping station, yet often it seems that believers feel that if they support ministries financially, they are off the hook from actually doing the work of the Kingdom. They give to the church to support someone else doing the work, and then we wonder why the Gospel is not having a larger impact in our communities.

We all have a part to play. Every day we should look for opportunities to let people see Jesus in us by the things we do.

As Psalm 84:5-6 AMP states:

“¶Blessed and greatly favored is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion. Passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), they make it a place of springs; The early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]; Each of them appears before God in Zion.”

In every place we walk, we should make it better.

The church was never meant to be a spectator sport. We are not simply called to attend services, but to carry the presence of Christ into our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. Wherever believers go, there should be evidence of the Kingdom—hope replacing despair, generosity overcoming selfishness, and love transforming lives. When the church stays focused on its true mission, the world cannot help but notice Jesus.

05/26/2026

It seems history records, over and over again, that what the enemy meant for evil, God turns to good. While it may have seemed to some that the message was being silenced, the opposite was actually true. Because of the persecution, the message of the Gospel was spreading even further.

We can still see that the Jews were somewhat exclusive with the message, even though it was meant for the whole world. Yet some were learning to break free from their religious traditions and prejudices.

Barnabas was such a man. His heart was truly filled with the Lord’s compassion, and he rejoiced that the Gentiles were receiving the Word of God. Barnabas became one of the key figures in spreading the Gospel to the Gentiles, working closely alongside Paul the Apostle.

Notice that Barnabas saw evidence of God’s blessing among the Gentiles. The Holy Spirit was indeed actively at work, touching the lives of both Jews and Gentiles, just as Jesus had said.

As we reflect on this, we are reminded that God’s purposes cannot be stopped by opposition, prejudice, or human limitation. He continues to work through willing hearts that are open to His leading and compassionate toward others.
