Yes, my "walking with Jesus" friend, Paul and his team had been ministering effectively in the city of Ephesus and throughout the surrounding region, bringing many to Believe in Christ. As a result, business related to idol worship of the goddess Diana had declined significantly. A silversmith name Demetrius stirred up a riot against Paul. "But the city clerk quieted the crowd, saying, Fellow Ephesians, doesn't all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the Guardian of the temple of the great Diana, and of her image which fell down from heaven? Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down...You brought these men here. They have not robbed the temple nor spoken against our goddess. So, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against these men, they need to take it to the court. As it is, we are in danger from our Roman rulers of being held to
account for riotous behavior, for which there is no good cause. So, be dismissed, and keep the peace."(Acts 19:23-41.) When we encounter resistance or opposition to the Gospel, let us pray to have REASON and PEACE prevail.
