Athens Notes
Athens Notes 9/28/10
Acts 17:17 Paul doesn't stay in church where he is safe he goes to the mall where the culture is -Adding comments on Youtube or articles is us going to where our culture is.
Acts 17:22 Paul walked in greatly distressed. Paul begins to speak and uses words of affirmation. Doesn't criticize but stays bold and keeps courage. Chutzpah=spirit courage
Acts 17:28 Paul is quoting their poets to get them to understand the gospel. Challenge: what is a touch point in my culture that I can connect with to help with the gospel.
Acts 17:32 Other people's responses aren't my responsibility, that's the spirit's job Some people might sneer at you but some people might respond because of your Chutzpah.
Paul doesn't want us to criticize other people but instead stay bold and have courage and give them kind but strong points. I think this is important in all aspects of life. Not matter what the topic is. Criticism puts people down in general.
