4 Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.
Since the beginning of human civilization, humans have sought to find ways to glorify themselves and seek more and more for themselves. Fast forward to today and you see it has only continued to get worse. Greed for power and self glorification runs rampant in our society. We have replaced God with "Religion" and "Religion" with "Morality" and even still the definitions of those words seem to change daily.
1 Corinthians 1;23-31
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption.31 Therefore, as it is written, Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.
Christ crucified is the only real answer devoid of the perversion of the world.
Christ crucified is the only real answer devoid of the perversion of the world.
