You Should Do This

Acts 14:15 KJV

And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

Though God has suffered centuries of idolatry, wickedness and vain doing the truth is that men should turn from these vanities.

• They serve no good purpose
• They do not make anyone's life better
• They will eventually lead souls to hell

God has always had some form of witness if men would but pay attention:

• The consistent goodness of the law of nature
• The still small voice of personal conscience
• The word out there that there was a people who followed after God

And there is the preacher, who whether he stayed home to care for a single congregation or traveled as Barnabas and Paul did to establish new congregations, have faithfully delivered the message of God's Word; "Ye should turn from these vanities."

• Not that the preacher forces people as in "Ye shall turn from these vanities"
• Or that he coerces people as in "Ye must turn from these vanities"

but he preaches to the people "Ye should turn from these vanities", leaving it to their voluntary and free will.

Ye should turn from these vanities, whosoever you may be who reads these words. There is but one God. He sent His Son to die for those vanities that plagued your whole life. He has a better plan for your life with a better end to your life.

• You should turn from your vanities to Jesus Christ
• You should call upon Him to forgive you of your sins and
• You should look to Him through His Bible to direct you the rest of your life
