POINTS TO PONDER

1.    Consider how the town clerk said that Paul’s companions were neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of their goddess.  What is your testimony like concerning the beliefs of others?  How might you change your testimony to be more positive without compromising truth?

2.    Consider how the town clerk waits to address the crowd rather than standing up in the middle of their chanting.  How patient are you when there is a disruption right in front of you?  What can you learn from this town clerk which would better help you to honor the Lord in your communication?
