The Holy Spirit Rocks The World Of The Alpha Males

Cornelius Now there was a certain man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort, a devout man, and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people, and prayed to God continually.

Peter And on the next day, as they were on their way, and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. And he became hungry, and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; and he beheld the sky opened up, and a certain object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, “Arise, Peter, kill and eat!

Peter But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.” And again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.” And this happened three times; and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

The Crowd Cornelius sent two trusted servants and a devout soldier Peter had six circumcised believers go with him Cornelius gathered together his relatives and close friends Peter spoke to a crowd of many assembled people.

“Listening To Young Atheists” 1) They had attended church. -unbelief was a reaction to Christianity 2) The mission and message of the church was vague. -did not connect Jesus to life 3) Church offered superficial answers to life’s difficult questions. -church services were largely shallow, harmless and ultimately irrelevant.

“Listening To Young Atheists” 4)They respected those who took the Bible seriously. -“Church became all about ceremony, handholding, and kumbaya. I missed my old youth pastor. He actually knew the Bible.” Larry Alex Tauton The Atlantic, 2013

“I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there’s a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life or whatever, and you think that it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward….How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?” ~Penn Gillette atheist illusionist and comedian
