Paul did not go to Ephesus to condemn those worshipping idols but to unashamedly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.We do not have to seek out and condemn today's idols. Rather, as we live out our Christianity, enjoying the abundant life God gives, our lives will discredit the idols around us.
Am I, are we, living out that abundant life in such a away that today's idols are discredited?
Perhaps the reason the church seems so often to be known for what it stands against rather than what it stands for is because it's far easier to condemn the world than to live differently to the world. Words are cheap, actions are costly.
