Daily Thread – Acts 17

 

Addressing the Areopagus

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the [i]Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one [j]blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” 33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

 

Good morning and welcome

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

  • Good morning everyone. This is going to be a busy week for me. My son and famly will be visiting, coming in on Wednesday for the big festival.

  • Good morning! It is peaceful right now, all I hear is my tinnitus & the clock ticking.
    Have a blessed Lord's day, my dear friends! ❤️

      • It's been about 25 years now. It started in one ear & then began affecting the other. I know there are doctors who say they can treat it but I haven't taken the time to check into it.

          • Some say that a B12 deficiency can cause tinnitus.

            I don't have tinnitus, but after years of drumming, and loud concerts, I now have a condition in my left ear where certain octaves cause it to buzz.

          • I'm going to get some B12 and hope that it works. My problem is from cutting metal with a deck saw with no ear protection.

          • Sorry been so busy today. I went to the doctor and she gave me something that didn't work. I don't even remember what it was now. Once in a while it will go away for a short time. I'll yawn and suddenly it's gone but it comes right back. She did tell me that there was a chance it wouldn't ever go away. I wish I had the answer.

          • Thats the answer I have heard, no cure for it. I'm going to try some vitamins B12, I remember when I was in my 20's I use to get shots of B12.

  • Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
    Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
    Paul quotes Stephen.
