Acts 17
Paul found himself among the intellectuals of his day and he ceased the opportunity to present the gospel in a way that would appeal to them. Being people who sought out learning, they were a willing audience. Even though they didn’t all accept the good news, they all welcomed the presentation. My wife and I enjoy a small group study on Sunday evenings with a group of older, mostly retired people, most of whom just happen to be either former or current educators. Studying the scripture with such a group as this presents some interesting challenges, as well as many enlightening moments. Being highly educated, these folks don’t automatically go with traditional teachings with which many grew up. They are constantly pushing the envelope. The end result is a deeper faith in God, a greater appreciation for His word, and a richer relationship with the Lord.
