    At some point every Christian’s faith will be tested in the area of conscience and duty-to see whether you will have the courage to obey God rather than man wherever man’s law and authority contradicts the higher law and authority of God. The Early Church practiced civil disobedience wherever that contradiction existed. We have been living in a time more recently when government and/or employer policies, laws, and ordinances are increasingly at odds with God-with God’s policies, laws, and ordinances. And Christians in America are having to decide who is really Lord? And whom will you obey-God or man? Christians should be the best citizens, living in subjection to governing authority, praying and respecting our leaders. But where the contradiction exists, may God help us to say as the Early Church did-“We must obey God rather than men!” (Acts 5:29)
    00:00 - Introduction
    24:41 - When is civil disobedience acceptable to God?
    24:47 Answer: When man's law or authority contradicts the higher law or authority of God.

    Dear Pastor G, I am in Cape Town, South Africa. I listen to one of your studies on TH-cam every night before bed. I then share it with my mom who listens to it the next morning. We have become so very fond of you, your family and the congregation of Cornerstone. We have learned so very much and appreciate your wonderful sense of humour. We thank God for you and pray His blessing on you and your family. Thank you that you teach us directly from God's precious Word. Come visit us in South Africa ❤️

    Pastor Gary, thank you for this lovely teaching.
    In 2021, I was working for a law firm in Cape Town, South Africa. Once the vaccine was rolled out for my age group (22+ years) I refused to get it. My boss would pressure me on a daily basis, threaten my job for refusing to get it. It got to a point where she was willing to take me to the vaccine site to have the jab. I refused and resigned because I will always honour God over anyone else.
    Today, my husband and I run a successful business that I say is God’s business and we couldn’t be happier.

    Pastor Gary
    Thank you for being the most amazing teacher. I am following the Dr Vernon McGee study guide for Acts with my tiny study group in Vung Tau Vietnam. (We are international teachers and there’s no english speaking church here.) I also printed out your notes for our group on Acts and for homework we must watch your video. I watch you daily. You are the easiest teacher to understand and I adore your humour. God has gifted you with the greatest gift of teaching Gods word and I am eternally grateful. Thank you Jesus for Pastor Gary. 🙏

    Thank you for this clear teaching! I love how you don’t shy away from difficult issues of our day, and yet you don’t tell people how to think. You give us the guideline of Scripture and “What does God say about this?” And then encourage us to follow that. Amen!

    As you experience trials…not when you experience trials. I left my local UMC because their new doctrines went against my interpretation of scripture. I could not continue serving in children’s ministry that went against scripture. I have yet to find a new church. I appreciate Cornerstone chapel. I appreciate you Pastor Gary. I love Jesus.

    It's not called civil disobedience, it's called passive non-compliance, the government is the one being disobedient to God's commands.

    @leslieford8132 ปีที่แล้ว

    You do such a great job explaining the word. I love my pastor,but his style is different. We have a local church just outside Montgomery, Al that's has a exodus or sorts because they hired a female pastor. If you have a video about why men are supposed to be the pastors,please share the name. I'm not a fan of anything woke but I think it's hurting our young people to a severe point that I don't know how our grandchildren are going to live in soddom and Gomorrah 2.0, God won't put up with this too much longer. Thank you, Praise God!

    Acts chapter 5 33-39 says if his movement came to nothing then it was not from the Lord. They disappeared from history in 333 ce and the cover, description and buyers comments of Nazarene Jewish Christianity on Amazon confirms this.

    AND ALL THE APOSTLES, ALL THE PROPHETS, ALL CHRIST'S HUMAN FAMILY AND MOTHER/SISTERS/BROTHERS AND OTHERS IN HIS LIFE 'KEPT' GOD'S COMMANDED HOLY 7TH DAY OF THE WEEKLY SABBATH 'NOT' THE 1ST DAY OF THE WEEK...CHRIST SET AN ''EXAMPLE' AS TO HOW GOD WANTS 'THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE HIS' TO LIVE. LIVE ACCORDING TO 'EVERY' WORD OF GOD / INCLUDING HIS FULL COMMANDMENTS AS 'HE' ORIGINALLY WROTE THEM. IT WAS CONSTANTINE, FOR EXAMPLE, OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM WHO ARROGANTLY CHANGED THE SABBATH TO SUNDAY/VENERABLE DAY OF 'THE SUN' NOT GOD. LEVITICUS 23 LISTS WHAT GOD ALMIGHTY CALLS ''MY FEASTS' AKA THE FEASTS OF THE LORD... MEANT FOR 'ALL NATIONS' TO KEEP FOREVER AND EVER NOT JUST 'JEWS' AS MANKIND MANIPULATES YOU TO THINK. JESUS SAID 'I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW BUT TO 'MAGNIFY' OR 'FULFILL'. ? IE: JEREMIAH 10 TEACHES US CLEARLY HOW THE FATHER DOES "NOT'' WANT US TO DO THE XMAS THING AT ALL YET YOU DO IT AND FALSELY CLAIM IT DOESN'T MATTER? NO ONE GOES TO HEAVEN WHEN THEY DIE YET YOU STILL THINK YOU DO. ? THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AT HOW 'DISOBEDIENT' MANKIND IS TOWARD THE ONE THEY SAY THEY 'BELIEVE' IS ALL MIGHTY...WHO OWNS THE VERY BREATH IN YOUR NOSTRILS. ?? THINK ON THAT. IS 'HE' AND 'CHRIST' WORTH LISTENING TO? WORTH CHANGING YOUR WAYS FOR ? OR ARE YOU TOO LOCKED INTO WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOUR MANMADE CHURCH PASTOR THINKS? GOD ALMIGHTY SAID ''' I AM NOT LIVING IN YOUR TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS... DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE"?? HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD YOU BE DOING AND READJUSTING YOUR STEPS TO PLEASE HI TO '''QUALIFY'' FOR SOMETHING SO PROFOUND AS EVER LASTING LIFE THAT YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED IS YOURS ''JUST AS YOU ARE"??/ GOD HIMSELF SAID NO ONE GOES 'TO HEAVEN' AND NO ONE ENTERS HIS KINGDOM WHICH IS A NEW WAY OF LIFE UNDER HIS 'GOVERNMENT' AKA LAW... WITH A DECEIPTFUL, ARROGANT, SNOOTY ATTITUDE. NO WAY. OBEDIENCE IS WHAT THE LORD LOOKS FOR...NOT WEALTH OR ARROGANCES OR KNOW IT ALLS.
