Latest Ideas 1
October 7, 2024
I recently spent time in our nation’s capital. This verse came to mind. Acts 17:21 ‘All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.’
This seemed to describe what I observed as I listened to politicians and news folks. News cycles are really short and that latest idea is quickly stale. The Apostle Paul sets an example for us. He spoke to them about an inscription he observed that stated “to an unknown god.” verse 23. He described them as religious, a compliment of sorts, and then describes this ‘god.’ Eloquently he describes our God, Creator of the earth, giver of all life, the one who enables each of them to even move and breath.
