We think our world, our society is in such bad shape today and it is, however it’s nothing new. When Paul walked into Corinth he saw the same things you and I see today but it wasn't spread all over social media since it didn't exist. Corinth was a major city on a trade route that allowed people to bring and sell their goods there at the Agora, or marketplace. Perhaps this is where Paul met Aquila and Priscilla who, just like Paul, were tent makers. They hit it off so well that Paul stayed in their home for a year and a half and when he left Corinth, they left with him. Serving God isn’t difficult so why do we make it that way? Like Paul, just take what you know, what talents you have, and strike a conversation with like minded people. During the conversation find a way to work Jesus in and let the Holy Spirit do the rest! On down the road, Aquila and Priscilla would literally save Paul’s life so it was a good thing he met these two godly people! Just think of the people that God has allowed in your life and how encouraging they have been to you. Be sure to return the favor!
