in american sentence, scripture Tags: Athens, God, offspring, poetry
(written as “american sentences” of 17 syllables each)
Yes, Paul quoted poetry in his speech at the Areopagus —
As even your own poets have said, “For we are indeed his offspring” *
Athenians made many gods, even built an altar to “unknown god”.
(Ever wonder how people who knew so much, understood so little?)
Man cannot create God; his Spirit moves, unconfined to our image.
*from Cilician poet, Aratus, in Phaenomena, and also Cleanthes, in Hymn to Zeus.
Taken from historical/biblical account in Acts 17:16-31. Beth Moore’s Portraits of Devotion gives fresh insight (sentence #4 is hers).

(Verse written as American sentences; each a 17-syllable rant)
Puzzled robin perches on downed tree branch
next to nest of broken eggs.
Selfish force of storm has ripped potential life joy
from its safe sanctum.
Ravaged grove stands in stark silence except
for coo~coos of mourning doves.

in american sentence Tags: death, God, Jesus, relationship, religion, sword
Following a false religion might just be a subconscious death wish.
Yet we probably agree that he who lives by the sword, dies by it.
Desire a real relationship with God, not religiosity.

By knowing Jesus, we come to understand that
God is truly love.
