REFLECTIONS The Baptism of the Lord - In Acts, we are told that God shows no partiality. Rather the man of any nation who fears God and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. God does not ask for our membership card or references to prove our worthiness. God s love is always with us. God s mercy is always there for those who will accept it. If we believe this, how can it not show in our words and deeds? We call ourselves Christians and yet there are those who do not share our beliefs and act more uprightly than we do. Perhaps we need to pay more attention to our own words and deeds rather than judging what others say and do. He went about doing good works. - Acts 10:38 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.
