Stand up for Truth

In Gal 2:11-21, we see something very unusual and that was Paul opposing Peter.  We can learn a lesson from this.  Whenever things such as hypocrisy and deceit show their ugly head we must stand up for what is right.  Paul was not afraid to even oppose the so called big wigs in the church.  They were doing something that was wrong and Paul stood up for what was right.  One of the points of the sevenfold mission of the church is, "to promote all that is good and oppose evil in any form."  The Bible says when evil comes in like a flood that God will raise a standard against it.  The church is that standard.  We are not just to stand against the world but stand for righteousnesss in the church.  I believe that is how Paul dealt with the problem but he was still willing to oppose even someone like Peter.  Are you willing to do the same?  Your promises today are:  James 4:7, Prov 3:5-6, 1 John 4:7-8, and 1 John 4:4.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  Value your wife, she is strongest link in your family chain.  True repentance and sorrow is followed by action.
