Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).
Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more

They are the type of thing that you don’t miss until you need them and don’t have them. But boy when you want them and they aren’t there you sure miss them then. When Jesus was looking for a metaphor to describe his followers he reached out to and latched on to an unlikely pair. Well perhaps ...read more
