Suffering for the gospel

Acts 19:21-31
There arose a great disturbance about the way in Ephesus. For many people turned to the Lord, some of silversmith worried their trade will lose its good and their goddess Artemis will be discredited.
So effective is Paul's ministry in communicating the message that 'gods made with hands are no gods at all' that it cuts the takings of the silversmiths making images of the city's famous goddess, Artemis.
They stir the whole place to uproar dragging Paul's companions to the great theater, and chanting slogans.
Hall of Tyrannus: A lecture-hall which, according to some manuscripts, Paul used during siesta-time, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Magic ..books: Such was the city's name for magical papyrus (紙莎草)scrolls of spells(法術) that these were known in the Roman world as 'Ephesian letters.'
Artemis (Diana): The cult(崇拜) adopted the name of the Greek goddess, but continued to worship the mother-goddess fertility(生育能力) figure of the region's ancient religion. The temple was one of the seven wonders of the world, four times the size of the Parthenon. The 'sacred stone' was a meteorite(隕石), supposed to resemble the goddess, and kept in the temple.
The theater: An ideal place for the crowd to gather, since it could hold 24,000 people.
Why?
Be careful to the custom around us, that these enemy may attack out ministry anytime and anyway when most people turn to the Lord. They worry their business and they living style.
Prayer to the ministry around the world.
How?
To be a follower of Jesus have to suffer the pressure from the world like Jesus suffering.
