Daily CLC Prayer verse

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”

All,
This stands out because Peter says, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins”.  Why would someone not want to repent?  Do they see themselves as knowing more than God. Maybe they honestly don’t believe in God. I know I’m full of pride when I don’t want to repent or either rationalize sin. I want to call the shots. That kind of mindset is the opposite of peace. Please pray that we and our friends hold God above everything and enjoy the fruit of the Spirit. Please pray for the CLC breakfast on 12/13.
