When the Apostle Paul went to Athens, he was entering one of the largest most influential cities of his time. As he looked around that impressive city, his heart was broken by the lostness of the people. But believing God had called him there to share the gospel, Paul engaged the philosophers and city leaders, challenging their world view and inviting them to rethink their concept of God. As our own city grows and changes, we must ask ourselves if we are prepared to approach Jacksonville the way Paul approached Athens. We can choose to ignore what’s happening in our city. We can become isolated and resist the changes, or we can embrace these changes as being from God. How can we expect non-believers to change their hearts and minds if we are unable to change our hearts and minds to embrace them?
