Acts 10:34-35: Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favouritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does that is right.”
How wonderful it is that our God loves all of his people so much and will accept us from wherever we are. In this time of so much violence, prejudice and strife it is so good to be reminded that our God is more, he is greater and stronger and better and perfect!

I usually read at night, and I’m so glad I do, because
I love to get to see everyone’s input, comments, and personal experiences about the words of the day! To witness God’s works through all of you is a great joy!-
I agree with you , I also read at night!

16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.These verses just made me laugh. I understand the wisdom but God definitely has a good sense of humor. :)

I too chuckled at some of these. They are most certainly the truth though, aren’t they?! :p

Indeed!

Hi Linda, I am from East Texas but currently living in the Middle East. I grew up with the belief and practice of full immersion of water baptism, but it is an outward show/commitment. The true baptism is the soul being full of the spirit.

I found it interesting that they all received the Holy Spirit before they were baptized. Having been in the northern most part of India where they are predominately Buddhist or Muslim converts are not able to be openly baptized without fear of family or self being killed. They usually move down to Delhi. But if the Holy Spirit is already given, then what importance is baptism? The outward show of commitment?
-
Yes. When you ask Christ into your heart and are saved you receive the Holy Spirit then. Baptism is an outward sign of what Christ does to our hearts in salvation. Baptism is not a saving act; it is a public profession of faith. Baptism is also something Christ commanded his disciples to do for new believers in the Great Commission, Matt. 28:18-20. My Bible study notes for vs 19 say that baptism is “a sign of their union with and commitment to Christ.” In Romans 6:3-4, Paul talks about baptism being an important step for believers to take.

I am of the same belief and understanding as Pam. Baptism is an outward sign of a commitment of the heart similar to a marriage ceremony.

Proverbs 25:28 A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls. – Allowing God to be that higher being to lead us to do the right things in life is key living in His honor even if by His design. Self control, to be, is about being mindful, taking time to observe before taking action. Many times we live according to our wants and our rules with limited outcomes.-
I also find this part of the text particularly important.

Its so beautiful the image of Peter coming and preaching the good news to Cornelius and company. How he was not fearful because the news of Jesus is to be heard by all. Also, the people were listening with open hearts and ears! They allowed the Holy Spirit to move in them, they were not afraid! May we, as women, go across the world preaching the amazing news of our savior to other women who are in need of the Holy Spirit and love!
-
Amen! How great our God is to show Peter that even us Gentiles can be saved through faith in Jesus! This makes my heart rejoice, right with the command to go into all the world preaching this good news!
