"Power evangelism" is a term that describes evangelism that takes place as a result of acts of power by the Holy Spirit. As Paul told the Corinthian church: "4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstrationof the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." ...
The Silversmith Riot in Ephesus
In the midst of a powerful working of God in Ephesus, Satan attacks. The Christian movement has touched the city so profoundly that the silversmiths, who make silver shrines of Artemis, patron goddess of Ephesus, realize that their business has dropped dramatically. That have to do something. So they stir up the crowd by rallying people around the goddess Artemis in the amphitheater (which is still there to this day). Paul wants to speak to the crowd but his disciples wisely prevent him. The...
A Quick Trip to Corinth and Possible Imprisonment
Though Luke doesn't mention it in Acts, Paul's letters suggest a "painful visit" to Corinth. Paul is trying via letters to correct problems in Corinth during his time in Ephesus. He apparently sends about four letters, of which we have only two. He also makes a quick trip, probably by boat across the Adriatic Sea, to try to resolve things in Corinth. It isn't successful. The only reference to this trip is: "So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you." (2 Corinthia...
Victory and Opposition
Paul hints of intense in 1 Corinthians (which was written during his Ephesian ministry). "A great doorfor effectivework has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me." (1 Corinthians 16:9) Paul had planned to stay in Ephesus until Pentecost (late May or early June), but he ends up staying longer. It is a fruitful time, marked with miracles and a mass turning from the occult (Acts 19:11-20). This is probably the "great door for effective work" that Paul shares with the Corinthian church....

The group was formed in 1994, which brought together Prince Paul (The Undertaker), Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Too Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and RZA (The RZArector). It came about largely due to the efforts of Prince Paul. Frukwan and Prince Paul were previously together in the group Stetsasonic.
Perhaps his position as Barnabas's cousin was less pleasant now that Paul took the first place; perhaps his courage failed him now that they were fairly launched out into the heathen world, where, unlike Cyprus, his Jewish kinsmen were a small minority, and the dangers and fatigues were great.
Paul was both an apostle and a missionary. After spending time with his sending and sponsoring church (Antioch), he set off over land for what has come to be called his 3rd Missionary Journey (Acts 18:23).
