Acts 2:13

Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”

The only problem with being perplexed is that in the myriad of thoughts there are always negative ones.
And in a large group there are always people who see things differently. When the disciples worshipped on the mountain when receiving the great commission some also doubted.
And when the pilgrims marvelled and were amazed wanting to know more, some dismissed the church as having got drunk.

Will you and your church ever get criticised for being drunk?
NO! Say the outraged teetotallers!
What I mean is how safe are you and your church? How respectable? How dry?
I’m not suggesting that everyone should be staggering coming out of the church service! Though that might be fun.
But have we done anything that in the midst of others being amazed some would pass any comment at all?

This event would be the start of many occasions when the church were scoffed at, sneered at and even worse would come.
It is true to say that there are some churches/Christians who have no threat of any persecution whatsoever. They are not doing anything to warrant anyone being against them nor thinking they were drunk, because nothing is happening.

Today don’t be rude and thus attract offence. But don’t be dry either. Be active. Be vocal. Don’t hold back.
