Boldly proclaim the Truth, no matter who our audience might be. Peter was speaking to the leaders of his day, knowing that they could easily demand his persecution, but he didn’t let that stop him from proclaiming the Gospel. It is really unfortunate where we have gotten to in our society today where Christians hold back on what they say in public, outside of the church walls, because they fear for what might be said of them, or they might lose their license. Many times today our leaders are being told what words and/or phrases they must avoid saying in certain public forums. This is why some ministers refuse to speak in certain forums, for they seek to always speak Truth directed by God. This would have eaten Peter up! He needed his audience to know that there is only one way to salvation, so he boldly proclaimed it! Praise the name of the Lord! Father, please give us that same boldness today. Our leaders today especially need You. Please use us to open the doors of Truth to them.
