We need to stop criticizing culture and start creating it. Paul didn’t boycott the Areopagus. He didn’t stand outside with a picket sign: “Athenian Idolaters Are Going to Hell in a Handbasket.” Paul wasn’t playing not to lose. Paul was playing to win, so he went toe-to-toe with some of the greatest philosophical minds in the ancient world. Paul competed for the truth on their turf.
