Fear God!

Act 10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped.
Act 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up! I also am a man myself.

I marvel at Peter because people were healed as he walked by and they knew that all they needed was to be close enough to walk in his shadow. Regardless of his gifting, we must be careful not to worship any man, but God alone.

What I also like about this passage is the fact that Peter is someone who Cornelius could sit down and talk to.

Act 10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.
Act 10:28 And he said to them, You know that it is an unlawful thing for a man, a Jew to keep company with or to come near to one of another nation. But God has shown me not to call any man common or unclean.
Act 10:29 Therefore I came without complaint, being sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me.
Act 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. And at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing....

This answers a question that I'd be praying about, to understand this Scripture, "Come out from there and touch no unclean thing." (2 Corin 6:17).
The Word here makes it clear. Anyone who fears the Lord is considered clean.

Act 10:35 but in every nation he who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted with Him.

The main topic of ministry today was "fear God and reverence His holy name." It amazes me how many people who claim to be Christians take the Lord's name in vain! And I had to reflect and confess that very recently, I may have carelessly used His name, and it was not very long ago that I learned to fear Him.

With this in mind, I had also had to emphasize that in everything we do, we must follow G-d's plan for our lives and His perfect will, that this prayer should not be just lip service:
"...thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Amen?

So, we set sail slowly....(Acts 27:7)
