Peter’s Preaching was Pointed – Ouch! (Acts 2:22-33)
By Doug Giles, recorded at Liberty Faith Fellowship in Wimberley, Texas
The Apostle Peter prioritized THIS from Day One… does your church?
Anyone who buys into the idea that the “Holy Spirit is a gentleman’ should take a closer look at the Book of Acts.
The Holy Spirit does What He wants.
When He wants.
How He wants.
Period.
And let the chips fall where they may.
People will get upset. And He’s OK with that.
It’s part of the process.
You don’t just see it in the Upper Room.
You see it in Peter’s inaugural sermon of the Church Age.
But the sermon wasn’t chaos. It was anchored in principles we would do well to remember today.
If a person looked to Scripture and paid particular attention to the passages within the Bible that address the topic of hunting, then they’d walk away thinking not only is hunting animals tolerated but it is endorsed by God. And that’s exactly what this little book is about: proving that God, from Genesis to Revelation, is extremely cool with hunters and hunting. I’ll go out on a biblical limb and claim right off the bat that you cannot show me, through the balance of the Bible, that the God of the Scripture is against the responsible killing and the grilling of the animals He created. ~Doug Giles
