Scripture for Reflection and Preparation
Romans 1:20-21 “20 From the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what He has made. as a result, people are without excuse. 21 For though they knew god, they did not glorify Him as god or show gratitude. instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.”
John 15:22 “22 if i had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.”
Job 38:1-3 “1 Then the lord answered Job from the whirlwind. He said: ‘2 Who is
this who obscures [My] counsel with ignorant words? 3 get ready to answer Me like a man; when i question you, you will inform Me.’”
