There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band. A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God Always.
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius, and when he looked on him he was afraid and said what is it, Lord? and he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up fora memorial before God a story is told about a man who preached an impressive sermon, seeking to be the pastor of a new church, everybody loved it and voted for him to become their new pastor.
They were a bit surprised, however, when he preached the same sermon his first Sunday there-and even more surprised when he preached it again the next week. After he preached the same sermon the third week in a row, the leaders met with him to find out what was going on.
The pastor assured them, "I know what I am doing. when you start living out this sermon, I will go on my next one."Those who worship the true God base their teachings on the bible worship only God and and make his name known show genuine love for one another accept Jesus as God's means of salvation.
Are no part of the world, preach God's kingdom a man's only hope.
