Idling like the Athenians!
I am not sure the residents of ancient Athens knew the word “ideation” but it is recorded that that is what occupied them all day! The industrious may equate this term to “idling”; be that as it may, it is into this crazy city that Paul found himself in the midst of his peregrinations.
Concerned about the proliferation of idols in the place, Paul set about preaching the gospel and was quickly invited to address a mass gathering that was curious to know all about this foreign god.
Are you ready to preach the word in or out of season?
