Acts 19 [The Message]

We must ask ourselves, “Am I living and projecting a Christian life that is testy enough to unsettle the Enemy?”

When Paul began ministering in Ephesus, he boldly taught and baptized in the name of Jesus, seeing many get also baptized in the Holy Ghost. Idolaters were so convicted that they brought all their Satanic items to be burned and destroyed. The edge on Paul’s teaching so provoked the worshippers of the idol Artemis that there was a riot. The Truth he taught was such a contrast to the false wisdom of the day that it upset the apple-cart.

I am not advocating inciteful speech. I’m just saying the flavor of our life should be such a contrast to the decaying world we live in.

 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [Mstt. 5:13]
