“About that time, serious trouble developed in Ephesus concerning the Way. 24 It began with Demetrius, a silversmith who had a large business manufacturing silver shrines of the Greek goddess Artemis.[b] He kept many craftsmen busy.” v 23-24 (NLT)
Not everyone responds to the Gospel in a positive way. People look at the cost, (how it impacts their life) and make choices whether to believe or not. Demetrius was looking to protect his lively-hood. Sadly, many times when we are presented with the Truth, we make decisions based on past experiences, people of influence, and the affect it has on our immediate future. The truth many times goes against the grain of popular belief. But it is in the Truth, that we find Gods eternal peace, forgiveness, and love.
Today, what are you trying to protect? Will you surrender it to the Lord?
