Yes, But

Tuesday May 8th, Acts 11: 15 "As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 17 So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?" 18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life." If God is sending us into all the world to bring the Good news, who are we to stand in the way? Peter is trying to explain boundary less kingdom to boundary loving followers. It is a tough job, full of “Yes, but’s.” The Christian church hasn’t changed much. Even today there are all manner of “yes, but you surely don’t mean ‘those’ people?” All living things have within them the living breath of the Holy Spirit. Our job as kingdom dwellers is to awaken them to that presence. Where is God leading you that you don’t want to go?
