Lesson 6- Destination Unknown
In Athens there were more idols than all the rest
of Greece put together. It was estimated that
there were more than 30,000 statues in
Athens. The people in Athens conformed instead of
being transformed. They had no burden for souls
and played the part of a modern day Pharisee.
They were superstitious and
religious but still did not know
God.

Lesson 6- Destination Unknown
In many countries there are churches on every
corner, signboards and bumper stickers on cars
that proclaim a knowledge of godliness but deny
the power thereof.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof from such turn away. 2 Timothy

Lesson 6- Destination Unknown

• Paul would have understood the situation in
  Athens because he also suffered from misguided
  direction and devotion. He persecuted the
  church, held coats while Stephen was stoned, and
  locked up church members in prison. One day his
  direction changed while moving fast on the road
  to Damascus. The Lord was able to catch his
  attention by blinding him!

His destination became known.
