Chris Green, The
Word of His Grace
Why intelligent people can
also be stupid
3 reasons people are
stupid:
(1) People are stupid
because they should know the creator of the universe does not live in
buildings, but they act as if he did
(2) People are stupid
because they should know that the God who sustains them does not need their
care, but they act as if he did
(3) People are stupid
because they should know that the God who made us must be infinitely greater
than us, but they still reduce him to a statue
5 things people know, or
ought to know, about the good God:
The Good God is a creator
God (v24)
The Good God is a caring
God (v25)
The Good God is a
controlling God (v26)
The Good God is a close
God (vv27-28)
The Good God is a compassionate
God (v30)

Peterson
The Word in Athens (vv16-34)

Claim on All People (vv22-31)

(vv24-25)
(b) The truth about
humanity (vv26-29)
(c) The truth about divine
judgement (vv30-31)
(3) Founding a Church
(vv32-34)
