Wisdom’s Toolbox: Enduring Slanderous Attacks (Acts 16:19-26) | Pastor Mike Fabarez
When Paul and Silas exorcised a demon from a slave girl, her owners' lost profits triggered false accusations, mob violence, and unjust imprisonment; yet the missionaries prayed and sang at midnight, showing that faithful gospel messengers should expect costly, unjust opposition because the true gospel demands Christ's supremacy and moral authority, and should respond by entrusting themselves to a God who saves, whether through deliverance or through death.
