Acts 19:23-27
23 But before he got away, a huge ruckus occurred over what was now being referred to as "the Way." 24 A certain silversmith, Demetrius, conducted a brisk trade in the manufacture of shrines to the goddess Artemis, employing a number of artisans in his business. 25 He rounded up his workers and others similarly employed and said, "Men, you well know that we have a good thing going here — 26 and you've seen how Paul has barged in and discredited what we're doing by telling people that there's no such thing as a god made with hands. A lot of people are going along with him, not only here in Ephesus but all through Asia province.
27 "Not only is our little business in danger of falling apart, but the temple of our famous goddess Artemis will certainly end up a pile of rubble as her glorious reputation fades to nothing. And this is no mere local matter — the whole world worships our Artemis!"

This is an example of what is happening today! Businesses want to be more important than God! Instead of believing in Him they feel threatened and would rather give glory to money than God.
