"Our study begins with Paul on sort-of a forced vacation. Ministry in Thessalonica and Berea had become dangerous, as opposition rallied against Paul and his teaching. Because God was moving, so, too, was the enemy. It seemed prudent to get Paul out of the area for a while, so he was sent to Athens to relax. Evidently, relaxing was not something Paul did well."

Pastor Ron: "This is an important, indispensable book. Without it none of the books that follow would make much sense. We would not, for example, know who Paul was! Without this book the Apostle Paul's writings, nearly two-thirds of the NT, would be meaningless! We would have the gospels and a bunch of other stuff we could not understand."

Pastor Ron: "We can do nothing good without power from God. God has given His burning-Spirit to all who are His, and many of us are in the practice of snuffing out the fire every day! We snuff out the fire of God by disobedience, by unwillingness to surrender our will to His, and through compromise with the world."
