Running a little late...The book of Acts is an interesting book in the Bible...My final for my Bible students is going to be over it... Acts 5 gives us an interesting account of Ananias and Sapphira and their great idea of giving money to the church... It was a "life" changing event...
They lost theirs and the church gained a great following which strengthened the church....
This story deals with what people's motives are in serving or giving to God... Ananias and Sapphira were looking for man's applause ... Ananias got his obligatory applause from the people and then dropped over dead...Sapphira was at Saks 5th Avenue Jerusalem getting her "applause" outfit and hat not knowing her husband had dropped dead with the same fate waiting for her when she arrives to receive her "applause"...Tough truth to learn... even in today's world.... Don't lie to God....
What happened to Ananias and Sapphira could happen to us....Scary thought isn't it????
Prayer of the day: God make my motives pure in every thing I do for you!
Keep Lookin' Up!
