Sometimes, we can choose “truth” as our last choice. Politicians tend to align themselves with popular opinion or with the greatest personal advantage. In fact, that is what the religious people in Acts 25:1-5 are counting on! However, the truth often contradicts popularity or personal gain. Eventually, we are all called upon to choose sides. Will you choose personal gain, popularity, or truth?
The Gospel: Redirection to God
We must stay clear on who God is. In our study of Acts 13-14 we have seen that God is sovereign, love, longsuffering, merciful, all-powerful, and all-knowing. No matter what your circumstances seem to tell you, you know from God’s own word that He is these things. You know that sometimes your circumstances do not tell you the whole story about God, but that you must choose to trust God!
