Sermon on Mars Hill, not to be mistaken for an address from Mars. Although how things are looking of late, desperation calls for answers, it seems people are freaking out.
All scattered to the wind of compromised injustices where passive aggression insights rebellion.
Consider all the many variables and variations of strong beliefs stretching the imagination and representation to all nations' peoples.
Acts 17:22-31 - Paul announces from this hill "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all aspects, for a while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and all things in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything since He himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of humankind to live on all the face of the earth, have determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God if perhaps they might grope for Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man's art and thought. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world. In righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
Are You holding up? Are you assured of your salvation? "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
I wonder about religion and all the destruction it mitigates as deeply embedded dogma infiltrates.
Calm down, let us pray before our senses wash away. Stay in your lane, know what you drive and who is moving you, stop making noise with honking horns instead, be clear and accurate lest you stray. To an unknown god, so many look for answers that become like terminal cancers. Like an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells invading, multiplying, and penetrating lukewarm Christians.
2 Timothy 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but (He has given us confidence) of power and love and of sound judgment and personal discipline (abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control).
Stay curious, do not be deceived; there is always room for improvement. "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned, and in their greed, they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." 2 Peter 2:1-3
The Lord Jesus Christ is not far from any of us, turn up the heat!
