Daily Walk Through the New Testament

September 19

Read Acts 5:22-6:7

Cults, false religions, and false prophets abound today. Often, they grow faster than the true church does, However, the idea that whatever succeeds in life is always the will of God is simply false. Similarly, Gamaliel believed things that are not of God must fail. The problem with this thinking is that it doesn’t consider the sinful depravity of humanity and the presence of satanic opposition in the world. Mark Twain once said, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while truth is putting on its shoes.” No doubt truth will win out, but in the meantime, Satan seeks people to devour like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). Fight his falsehoods by spreading God’s truth!
