What is a good response? It has long been observed that wherever Paul preached, there was either a revival or a revolt. Paul’s preaching got a response, sometimes good and sometimes not. This passage compares the response in Berea with the response in Thessalonica.
All Shook Up Paul and Silas pray and sing and an earthquake opens the way for them to escape. But they didn’t. Instead, they preached the Gospel to the jailer.
What is a soul worth? Paul and Silas had preached in Philippi and cast the evil spirit out of a girl who had been following them around. Though she was delivered, her owners were not pleased because the spirit was the source of her divination and their income. An uproar ensues.
