“WE MUST OBEY GOD!”

But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than any human authority” (Acts 5:29, NRSV).

“WE MUST OBEY GOD!”

Throughout all history these brave words have been said
by believers again and again,
when their faith’s on the line and their lives are at risk:
“We must first obey God and not men!”

It would seem, though, that formula has been reversed
by some nominal Christians today.
They may say the same words the apostles pronounced,
but it’s people, not God, they obey!
