Faithful





  And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all.  There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.” Acts 19:26-27 (NIV).

 Paul is being set up, not because of some evil he has done but rather because he has, through the teachngs of Jesus Christ upset the status quo.  Many people were making money from the sale of religious items and now he has become a problem.  What is the response of the movers and changers when people "wake up" and start to worship God?
