oDay 35, Read Ac. 19:23-41. 19:25: "we have our prosperity."

Here we see the gospel's impact against sinful economics.  There is no other reason for the uproar but money.  Most of the people did not understand what was happening (v32).  There was no just or legal reason (v40).  It is no different today.  When God's Word challenges your spending practices you can do all manner of explaining and justifying and rationalizing.  But the fact is: it is all going to burn.  The world's economy will crash and the men of this world will be devastated (Rev. 18:17-19).  But the saints will rejoice (Rev. 18:20).  Let us not side with the world but with our Lord at all times, even with our money.
