Who would have ever imagined the Pledge of Allegiance would be a controversy in America? Our enemy, the devil, would love nothing more than for us to stop sharing Jesus publicly, stay out of government, stay out of schools and do what we do secretly and quietly. But we better make a noisy exit!
Connection Point:
But Paul said to the officers: “They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come themselves and escort us out” (Acts 16:37).
Connection Questions:
- What does it say the jailer did in Acts 16:33?
- Why do you think the authorities wanted Paul and Silas to leave town quietly?
- The end-time Church is not supposed to leave ______________. We’re supposed to leave _______________.
