26.07.08 “Persecution in Philippi” (Acts 16:16-24)

   What has been the most direct and forceful opposition YOU have ever faced to Christianity, especially YOUR relationship with Jesus and your conviction the Bible is God’s truth for our world? Pause and think about that for a few seconds. Let’s join the apostle Paul, Silas, Timothy and Dr. Luke as they are spending their first days in Philippi, Macedonia.  For Dr. Luke this is fairly familiar territory since he was a Greek physician, perhaps from Macedonia!! But for the other three, we can presume this Roman city is quite different from what was familiar to them, especially Jerusalem. When’s the last time you traveled into a culture VERY different from what was familiar to you?
