“Funny”, the different reactions to God’s work through believers (“funny” as in: odd). God truly is at work on earth in believers, like through Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA.
True Christians who walk in faith — stand strong in His Spirit. But rejectors? They “were filled with jealousy and resentment”.
Acts 5:17
But the high priest stood up,
along with all his associates
(that is, the sect of the Sadducees),
and they
were filled with
jealousy and resentment.
Jealousy and resentment
What is your reaction to the works of Christians as they follow the Spirit? Are you agreeing with God? Or are you like the horribly liberal church of Andy Stanley who’s members call out the faithful as if THEY are being “disruptive”?
Are you angry, jealous, full of resentment? Or do you have a testimony of how God has changed you? Share your life.

Different reactions to God’s work on earth in believers: See: Acts 17:10-12, Acts 17:13,
Revelation 2:2 – (Get your 2:2 on!) “patient endurance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested and critically appraised those who call themselves apostles“
2 Peter 1:16…”follow cleverly devised stories or myths“
Philippians 3:2…”[the Judaizers, the legalists], look out for the troublemakers, look out for the [c]false circumcision [those who claim circumcision is necessary for salvation]; unbiblical requirements for salvation.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 …merely “walk in the flesh [as mortal men]” or “taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ“
Matthew 13:10-17 Living Bible “Your mind can either be hardened, or it can be receptive.”; “their hearts are fat and heavy, and their ears are dull, and they have closed their eyes in sleep”. – Source: Being receptive
Assassination of Christian leaders…See: Charlie Kirk’s funeral; About 20,100 results from christianpost.com site search for “Assassination of Christian leaders”
Acts 17:1-13 “some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas” verse 4 ; “5 But the Jews, becoming jealou….“; “taking along some wicked men from the marketplace, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and they attacked the house of Jason” – Source: Unbeliefism

Get on God’s side – and be in the truth…work of God
The non-stop work of God inside you and me…God is at work
Road Sign: God is at work up ahead…He truly is at work on earth
In Christ I am a strong person…stand strong in His Spirit
Are Christians to remain hog-tied and silent in the face of evil? Excerpt: How do you feel when pure evil is pushed into your face – like at the Olympic gay show? How do you react? What should you do? Brad Littlejohn wrote, “A society must be able to publicly speak truth about what is good and what is evil.” Is that part of our role as His ambassadors on earth?
How’s your talkin’? – Colossians 4:5-6 Excerpt: Interaction with any individual (1 Peter 3:15), however brief or casual, should be seen as a special opportunity given to us by God, “something precious“, a chance to “answer each one [who questions you]“ about your faith in Jesus and hope for the future. “Make the most of every opportunity.”
Spiritual Drift Excerpt: Moving away? Where are you at with your faith?
Do you have a strong faith in Jesus? Do you stand for what Jesus stands for, or …have you given it up? Jesus is all the world to me. How ’bout you? The return of Jesus is imminent. Is your faith enough for Him? I plan to stand for Jesus – through to the end.
There comes a time to stand for Jesus, or deny Jesus
I’m in it to win it…like the church of Stanley Excerpt: Cultivating a redemptive lifestyle – a life that copies Jesus.
A review of the Andy Stanley book: Not in It to Win It (Read through the reviews, most written by Stanley’s members – full of the similar “jealousy and resentment” of Acts 5:17.)
I run to win. Christ did. Do you? Excerpt: There is this sense of urgency I feel, while yet on this earth — to be persistent and conscientious list of 4 passages, to always be pleasing God with all that I am and all that I do. That requires I be cautious and active in faith daily.
Persistent and conscientious list of 4 passages : 1 Timothy 4:16, James 1:12, Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13
Your angels in Heaven are looking out for you. Fear not.
Yes I can – I can stand strong
Significance – what Jesus gives us
What fellowship have you with Darkness?
The Seed of the Word was sown. What happened to yours?
Charlie Kirk will be remembered for this
