earth, his Holy Spirit empowers
and utilizes us for the glory of God.
VII Peter Teaches Good Cit
izenship: Love makes a life positive,
for it impels right conduct and ac-
ton and causes the one filled with
love to do right SO naturally that
he has no trouble with violations of
the law. Love inspires every duty
to God and man.
VIII Peter Heals a Lame Man.
A praying man finds his way to
the house of God The penniIess
man is not destitute if possessed of
regenerated life filled with the
Holy Spirit. The man of power is
not only in touch with the source of
power but is also able to transmit
it where it is needed and so be a
real philanthropist.
TX Peter Unmasks Falsehood and
Hypocrisy: Lying is one of the
things God hates, and it is utterly
debasing and detested among men.
Falsity disrupts Fellowship Lying
destroys love. Hypocrisy develops
hate. Truth is a tie that binds and
upholds and blesses.
X Peter breaches to Gentiles:
The Lord of one is the Lord of all.
No person, no nation, no race, can
monopolize divine mercy. Without
respect of persons God is erich unto
all that call on him. He is pleas
ed with anyone, anywhere, any
time, who fears him and works
righteousness.
XI Peter Delivered from Prison:
When all else fails, prayer avails
if it is sincere. In prayer there is
fellowship on earth and an ap-
preaching fellowship with loved
ones gone before.
