It does not matter how often you read the bible, but it does matter how you respond when reading it. It is easy to take short cuts and look for the end result rather than acting on what the bible currently challenges us to do. In this passage we see how people responded differently to Paul and Silas's preaching about Jesus. Some people accepted whilst others challenged and dimissed God's Word. Is this any different today? The message of Jesus Christ is one of hope but many will resist and not accept this hope. How do you respond to the Word of God? As Christians we are responsible to tell others about the good news of Jesus but we are not responsible for the end results. Our mission is to plant the seeds and then allow God to handle the growth.
