22 “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god.
Holy Bananas! Ho much does that describe our society today. 2000 years later, and we are still sitting in the exact same place. Probably because the underlying issue is still exactly the same....we want our will, not his. That's really what it all boils down to. I'm thinking of the CO-EXIST bumper stickers, and the willingness of society to embrace every religious venture......it all has value, right? NO! It doesn't! None of it has value accept through the true King.
That's a good reminder for me today. Where/what am I worshiping? Is it the "unknown god," or the True God?

our society is lost, it feels more a mess in the US today than I can ever recall. CO-EXIST and tolerance and being messages for 'everyone' to be more tolerant often feel like messages directed at Christians not really that they believe their own message. The way Christian values are attacked in our society is the exact opposite of these messages.

Reading this portion made me wonder how is it that I ever feel far from God. I am in Him and his creation always. If I feel far from Him the only one to blame is myself.
