| if rome was corrupt and dangerous, then ephesus was the very throne of satan. | francine rivers, a voice in the darkness
it amazes me more often than not, how ignorant i am of the life & times of the new testament. i mean, even with a curiousity for jewish history, a desire to study the scriptures, and a growing knowledge of the authors of the new testament - even with this and more - i fail to realize and picture in my mind's eye the cities, places, people, and conversations of these times. ephesus was known for worshipping artemis. it was also known to be the seaport of the ancient world. some of the streets were made with white marble with columns lining the main entry ways...and yet they would have been absolutely intolerant of the 'anarchy' they saw within christanity, or the way. and yet paul has the courage to write a beautiful letter the believers of ephesus encouraging them to keep on. incredible.

| It’s not our job to tell people the truth, but to create an atmosphere for people to see truth themselves. | K-os, in an interview with VH1
An interesting take on truth from k-os. Despite the profound line of thinking, it's not entirely accurate. On the one hand, this whole idea of actions speaking louder than words is present, and true. But, on the other hand, it doesn't negate the inherent fact that we've been given a human responsibility to speak truth either. It may more accurately be stated that, "It's not our primary job to tell people the truth...". Or, it may not be as effective at times, but it certainly may become our job, or our very duty, to be a literal voice of truth at some point or another which will still work towards the creation of an atmosphere where people can see the truth.
