Who Is Your God?
Series: Revival Prep

Acts 17:16-32
A farmer decided he knew as much as any doctor, so he opened doctor's office in town. He charged $500 a visit, but he promised that if he couldn't cure you he'd give you $1,000.
The town's regular doctor was offended by that and decided to expose him as a fraud, so He went to the farmer's office and said "Doc, I seem to have lost my ability to taste. Can you cure me?"
The farmer called out, "Nurse, give him 3 drops from that blue bottle." She administered the drops, and the real doctor began to choke. "That's gasoline!"
The farmer smiled and said "Congratulations! Your taste has been restored. That'll be $500!" The real Doctor realized he'd been had, but he paid up, and stalked out of the office.

A week later, he thought of one more thing that might stump the presumptuous farmer. He walked into the office with a white cane and staring off into space and said "Doctor, I'm think I might be going blind. Can you restore my sight?"
The farmer looked at him, and then he looked at the floor and sadly said "No, I'm afraid I can't do that... so I guess I'll have to pay you the $1,000. Hold out your hand so I can pay you."
The doctor smiled and thought to himself, "At last I've beaten him!" Then the farmer put a $50 bill in it. Seeing that, the doctor shouted, "Hey! That's only a $50!"
The farmer smiled... and said: "Congratulations! Your eyesight's been restored!... That will be $500!"

Now, of course that's just a joke. But notice - that farmer always knew just what to say to the doctor. In our text today, that's what Paul ...
