Sometimes, you all have excellent points that elucidate, amplify, (and sometimes even correct[!]) my daily devotions.
One of the "devotioners" sent this outstanding note (below), in light of today's text, from Acts 17:21:
"The irony is that Paul really does bring something new to their ears. In fact, it was so new, so earth-shattering, so bizarre that even the Athenians were startled. What? We're going to be held accountable for ignorance? What? We're going to be judged by a resurrected God-Man? And so God uses men's desire to hear new things as a platform for the proclamation of the coming Kingdom. . . . Hopefully we never lose touch with the fresh new-ness of the the gospel. (Indeed, it is new information to every man who hasn't heard.)"
