This is already the SECOND example in Acts showing nobody could EVER claim that Peter was doing it ‘for the money’.
Almost any profession has a few guys who think they can throw a little money around and skip the process of becoming leadership material. And in the world of 1st century Greek and Roman pagan worship, buying your way into the priesthood was no different than buying your way into any other political office.
You bid top dollar and you get the perks that go along with it.
But GOD, his Spirit, and his High Calling will not be bought and sold as though he’s some cheap degree in Gender Studies, Eco Activism or Applied Communism.
If you’re dumb enough to think there’s enough money on this entire planet to buy Him off, you haven’t the foggiest clue Who you are really dealing with.
And Peter said so.
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
