Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Although a great revival was realized by the ministry of apostles Paul and John, there were those who would not accept their teaching, preferring to worship idols and gods that were plentiful during that time. In fact, Ephesus had one of the seven wonders of the ancient world in the magnificent Temple of Artemis, also known as the Temple of Diana. Destroyed and rebuilt numerous times, the ultimate temple was built of marble and was about four times larger than the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. City dwellers, merchants, tourists, and kings came to Ephesus to worship the goddess Diana in the temple; however, today only a single column and stone fragments remain of the once glorious structure. Only our God is living, true and everlasting, not like the dead and wooden gods of human hands and minds. We worship and serve a living God that loves us and with whom we can commune through Bible study and prayer. What a blessing!
In your time of Bible study and prayer today thank God that He is living and makes His presence known to you continually!
“I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen.” (Revelation 1:18a)
At the Father's Feet
