There is money to be made in the worship of idols, both in Paul’s day and in our own. But when people receive new life in Christ, does that make a difference?

Through Paul’s work and God’s power, the message of the Kingdom of God moves forward, overcoming the worst of pagan culture and the attacks of Jewish opponents.

As members of God’s household, we are far from perfect. But, if we are truly the Lord’s children, we are people in process, works in progress on the path toward greater love and obedience to His Law-Word.

When Paul left Athens, he went to Corinth, one of the most morally corrupt cities of the ancient world. But God did mighty things through Paul, even, at one point, preserving his life with the help of a most unlikely source!

Paul addressed a diverse group in the great city of Athens. But his most challenging audience was a group of Stoic and Epicurean philosophers who had no use for what he had to tell them. Athens, like modern America, was a place of idol worship, arrogance, materialism, and ignorance.
