    Acts 5 gives us two cases where the church faced hardship. One was internal and the other was external. Both were used by God for the good of the church. How can that happen for us today?

Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First.

     | 10,156 views

    Pick your battles wisely...make the right choice. That was some good advice, because the only thing more scandalous than believing God can do everything, is fighting against God when He is doing what He said He would do!
