Ananias and Sapphira: Counterfeit Christianity and the Holiness of God
Acts 5:1-11. We cannot properly love God until we have learned to fear Him. God is the same yesterday, today and forever - a Holy God, to be worshiped "with fear and trembling." As we discuss this terrifying moment of God's judgment in the early church, we also learn afresh how deep is the loving mercy, and "amazing grace" of our God.
