make a christian statement

During devotions today, my boss shared on Acts 4:5-13:

" Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them..." (vs 8)

"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realised that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men have been with Jesus." (vs 13)

Peter and John were ordinary men with no formal education but yet they have the boldness to speak in front of a large crowd. Where did such boldness come from? It came from their relationship with Jesus, the confidence they have in God to back them up. It reminds me of Solomon Vandy in Blood Diamonds who too, is a fisherman but yet have such boldness and courage to confront the RUF. All this simply for the love of his family. Love makes us do great things. Love for a perfect God makes us do even greater things.

She went on to say, "there is no sitting on the fence". We need to make a statement with our lives. It brings me back to the sermon we had yesterday. Neither hot nor cold but lukewarm and because of that, God will spit us out of His mouth. Our Christian faith is not a passive one. It is one that requires action, motivated by the right intentions. And it is one that requires us to walk alongside with God.

It is either 100% or 0%.
