The Defence and Weapons of a Man of God in Troublous Times
Acts 22:1-21
Men, brothers, and fathers, hear you my defense which I make now to you.…


I. FOR HIMSELF — he has right and law which must protect him, as long as they have the power.

II. WITHIN HIMSELF — he carries the equanimity of a good conscience, which remains undisturbed in the storm of the passions.

III. IN HIMSELF — he exhibits the power of a Divinely consecrated personality, which does not fail to impress even brutal crowds.

IV. IN GOD — he has a friend who says, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper."

(K. Gerok.)
