Paul and Barnabas challenge the existing structures and systems of every town where they bring the Message of the Gospel. The closer God gets, the more threatened worldly systems grow. And often, the spirit of the age responds in violence. But Paul and Barnabas don't back down in the face of resistance. As Christians, taking the message of Christ to the world, we must be attentive for those on whom the Spirit is working, those who are ripe for the complete life change to which Jesus calls us.
