Acts 18:6 But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

Paul continued to try to reach out to the Jews with the Gospel message, but time and time again they refused to listen to the truth.

We need to listen to what God is telling us, especially when He is telling us something we don’t like because we are less likely to want to do that.

Paul was directed to reach out to all people and not just the Jews; at this stage the foolishness of the Jews was just too much and he dusted his feet for the last time on them.

Acts 18:3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

No you don’t have to give up on the world, your job and everything you are just to become a Christian. We still have to pay our way just as others do and we still have to eat!

But changing your attitude toward your work, be in in school, college or out in the world as a professional, having a positive attitude toward your work will be noticed.

God continues to want us to be a light in our lives, shining for Him and being positive, honest and diligent in what we do is a good start!

Acts 17:29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.

How do you describe God to people? How would you try and describe The Holy Spirit?

Many of us do have difficulty in describing our Creator because the only things we have to describe others with are the things we have around us.

Here we are warned about trying to describe God with earthly things. Try describe Him through what He has done in your life…

Acts 17:21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

I love to speak to people who are eager to listen, but sometimes there are some who just want to know new stuff and are not really interested in seeking God.

We must not be the judge of those people. God has given us the opportunity to talk to them and share the gospel; allow Him to work out things in their minds.

God is able to do over and above anything we can think or do; allow Him to work where we can’t but don’t limit His effectiveness by not doing what He asks of us.
