I don't have many original thoughts, so I thought I'd post this one that I stole from Jared's Facebook status:

The silversmiths and idol-makers rioted in Ephesus over lost business not because Christians picketed and protested their industry but because the spread of the Christian faith meant that people had tasted and seen that the Lord is good and therefore just lost their taste for idols.

I'm neither a culture warrior or a culture war pacifist. I'm not sure what the right balance is.

But I think the quote above is an excellent observation, and something to ponder . . . deeply.
