1. BOLD OBEDIENCE Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They arrested the Apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. Verse 20, the angel says:"Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.“ 1. Bold obedience triggers opposition If you're not ready to face opposition for your obedience, you are not ready to be used by God.

2. BOLD OBEDIENCE Walter Anderson is an American cultural critic, and he wrote an article in which he said our leaders today are stars, not heroes. He said something like, “Leaders with which we are generally familiar today are stars, not heroes. Stars are surrounded by crowds; heroes walk alone. Stars consult focus groups before they speak; heroes consult their conscience.”

3. BOLD OBEDIENCE When your WALK with God is limited to a philosophy you agree with and a prayer you prayed, it inspires debates like, "is it once saved always saved?" Nobody in the Bible, ever received Christ by praying a prayer. It's extra-biblical (not anti-biblical). Words often change meanings though the years. I remember when a hard drive was a rough road and gay meant happy. The word "Christian" has also changed meaning. It used to mean, a holy person, who is following Jesus, and managing their temptations towards integrity. It described a person who was carrying their cross, dying to live, and believes the Bible.

4. BOLD OBEDIENCE I have decided not to confuse people with the title of Christian. From now on I am a Believer...a follower of Jesus. Jesus never made Christians, He only made disciples, who followed. Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.“
