Man of God

Acts 11:24 - "For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith:"

This is what our church (and secular) world needs desperately in this hour; a good man. The Marines motto for years was "A Few Good Men." This is exactly what Jesus desires to make us into...good men, full (lead and directed) of the Holy Ghost and faith. Albert Barnes in his commentary on Acts states concerning this verse: "It is not said that he was a man of distinguished talents or learning; that he was a splendid or an imposing preacher; but simply that he was a man of an amiable, kind, and benevolent disposition - a pious, humble man of God.... He was filled with the influences of the sacred Spirit, producing zeal, love, peace, joy, etc... He had confidence in the truth and promises of God. He confided in God. He depended, not on his own strength, but on the strength of the arm of God." This is what it will take to change our homes, neighborhoods,cities and nations...men and women who match this verse here. This is accomplished only as we walk with Christ and surrender to Him in love. Lord, make me that man!
