At times the opponents of Christianity can be very accurate in describing the effects of the gospel. In Acts 17, the mob which dragged Jason and other brethren before the rulers of the city accused them, saying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.” The gospel had indeed turned the world upside down.
But how did the gospel turn the world upside down? The gospel did not turn the world upside down with riots and protests. There was no insurgency or revolution…

“Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”
Perhaps you have heard that quotation before. It has no doubt been repeated many times in sermons or articles such as this one.
