Scripture in this episode

All passages New Living Translation.

Acts 17:22-28

Paul at Athens. Jimmy reads it at the top of the show and stops on the method: Paul observes before he speaks, uses their own altar as the doorway, and quotes their poets rather than his own scriptures.

22 So Paul, standing before the council, addressed them as follows: “Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious in every way,

23 for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about.

24 “He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples,

25 and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.

26 From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

27 “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us.

28 For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

Philippians 1:21

“Truth without compromise.” Jimmy’s Daily Grind, written the morning of the show - Paul on the cost of the mission. He notes that Paul goes on to say he would rather go and be with Christ, but stays for their sake.

21 For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.
