Paul's ministry to Ephesus is almost ended when a riot breaks out in response to the Christians getting rid of their idols and taking their faith seriously. Making the right decisions doesn't always mean there aren't consequences. The key is to understand that the right thing to do isn't determined by the majority vote. The majority opinion falls for idolatry every time. It takes a purposeful individual to understand who Jesus is and why they love Him.

1. There is nothing to be gained by trying to minister to a mob.

2. The best way to spot a counterfeit Jesus is to know the real deal.

3. Apart from the daily filling of the Holy Spirit, Christian love is impossible.
