Something inevitable happens when the good news liberates people from their bondage. The profits of their masters dry up and the masters cry out. If God's people are bringing liberation to the lives of people, powers that be and industries of oppressive commerce will declare,
"These men ... are disturbing our city."
And they will be correct .... hopefully.
"But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers. And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city." (Acts 16:19-20 ESV)
God help us to disturb the city.
