When reading the Bible this morning I came upon this:

Acts 3:12
12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
NIV

These people who said this had clearly denied themselves.

Today people would say: “Well, I am an expert” or “I have been educated in this” or “I should know…” but these normal people said “do you think that we did this by our own power?”

It’s not that times have changed because that’s not it but our society has changed so the goal in life isn’t to promote God it’s to promote you.
