Today’s Thought “Pittsburgh Pirate” G. Ward

Romans 1:20  “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”

There were no disguises; he arrived as himself; in a season where Halloween reigns supreme. The fame he sought equaled mission accomplished. It was a feat in hatred towards perceived indifference, obliterating the lives of a peaceable people. Unfortunately, he won’t be the last purveyor of divisiveness that destroys (cf. Jas.3:5-6), because there’s existential division within every scope of man. While he celebrates without contrast the apple tree vs. a pear tree, the portrayal in physicality, along with religious misunderstanding perpetuates separatism, only to unify when calamity and destruction happens.

Race is a social construct, and all who allow the infestation of scholarship to portray differences therein denies our only existential reality – “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Ge.1:27). Faith more seeks to unify with spiritual lenses given the new man that trusts implicitly (2 Cor.5:7). God doesn’t need our favors… Shalom!
