We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Prayer: Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!

CXXIV. Cornelius.

ACTS x. 34, 35. “Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation
he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with
Him.”

THE incident teaches us :
I. That Christianity can eradicate the most inveterate
habits.
II. That the propagation of Christianity has been de-
veloped by human instrumentality.
III. The true method of expounding Christianity.
Peter’s sermon is full of Christ
IV. The connection between human agency and Divine
power.
1. Human agency is not self-sufficient as to spiritual
results.
2. Apart from the word there must be a distinct Divine
influence.
