Can't Stop God!

Acts ch5-7 discusses issues within the early church, from deciet with Ananias and Sapphira with holding money and lying about it, to having too much work and not enough workers. Ch5 also discusses the conversation of the Sanhedrin who were trying to decide what to do with the apostles' teaching on Jesus. Gamaliel, a wise member, rose up and declared that if this teaching was from man, it will eventually die out and fail. If it was from God, you will not be able to stop it. Here we are 2,000 years later....can't stop God! Ch7 has Stephen, a helper of the apostles, being tried by the Sanhedrin and providing an eloquent and quick history of the Jews. He concludes noting they have killed their prophets. Guilty! And they kill him too! The first martyr...
