Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater!

Morning: Psalm 97, 99; Judges 13:1-15; Acts 5:27-42

Christians have sometimes been persecuted and ridiculed.  In today’s story from Acts, Gamaliel, a wise council member, advises those who want to persecute Jesus’s followers: “Keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them.”  So, were 80 generations of Christians mistaken?  No, the wisdom of Gamaliel still suggests that something about this Jesus movement is ‘of God’.  Some parts may be misguided, but don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.
