Acts 18-19
The saying, “Follow the money” comes into play in our reading today.  Those making money with the sale of idols had their business threatened with the preaching of the gospel.  So, they devised a plan to get rid of Paul and his associates.  It’s amazing that such a strong church was established in Ephesus.  Greater is He who is in us, than he who is in the world.  Ephesus is a good demonstration of the Lord’s power over evil.  My wife and I have often commented on how much smut we find in Houston.  Alongside the smut, we find an abundance of churches.  Satan keeps the attack going where he finds his biggest threat.  On a smaller scale, we can know that if we are living our lives in the way of the Lord, there is a good chance we will be attacked by Satan.  However, we are in good company when we are thus attacked.
