“And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.” Nothing has sparked more violence throughout history than the preaching of God’s word. We must understand that the enemy has worldly means alone to confront our Lord and His disciples. If men are obedient to Christ, his only recourse is to stop them. There is no philosophy or logic that can compete with gospel truth. This is why servants of Satan turn to intimidation, imprisonment, and murder. What they fail to understand is that God’s message cannot be stopped. They can kill Christians, burn Bibles, and destroy churches, but never prevent God’s will from being carried out in this world. Certainly we do not wish for this kind of violent rage against believers, yet throughout the ages it has served to greatly strengthen righteous resolve, and accelerate church growth. Men of God during Paul’s time in history faced the threat of death and kept preaching. What minor thing stops us from preaching today?
