GOD IS!!!

Acts 12:20-24 "Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.  On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. And the people were shouting, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!" Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.  But the word of God increased and multiplied." GOD is.  There is NO other!  Herod was a ruler.  Yet, rulers tend to be impressed with THEMSELVES!  Herod was overly impressed (to put it mildly) with himself and his accomplishments.   GOD alone is worthy of praise.  Political leaders and even modern day "Religious" leaders are not ones to be glorified!  GOD is not impressed with Television shows, so-called Mega Churches, or how many cruises our church members go on. For not giving glory to HIM, GOD had an angel strike Herod down!  HE has not lost HIS power.  HE is!
