Acts 17

by Lon on June 30, 2009

Read the passage here

- Paul argued with those in the synagogue – obviously there is a case for debating – interesting that the context was with other religious leaders though

- i wonder who these ‘leading women’ were who joined Paul

- mob formed against Paul and Silas for ‘acting contrary to the decrees of the emperor, saying that there is another king named Jesus – why can’t we say this today?  and if we do, why does no one seem to care?

- In Beroea – new believers – ‘examined the scriptures everyday’ – if newbies do it – shouldn’t we all?

- Paul spoke in a way that caused mystery, confusion, yet those who were intrigued and wanted to know more.  How can we learn from this?

- Paul took the time to examine the idols and gods in the city – if we took the time to examine our culture, what would we find?  in our culture, and within ourselves?
