Acts - The Idols in Athens

While Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy to join him in Athens, he was deeply distressed when he saw that the city was smothered in idols. Rather than allowing his feelings to lead him to angrily take a sledgehammer to the idols, he – in holy love – engaged the people. Paul was brought to the Areopagus to explain his message of the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.
