The Maker

The God who made the world and everything in it . . .

Is the Lord of heaven and earth.

And does not live in temple's built by hands.

And He is not served by human hands as if He needed anything . . .

Because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

From one man He made every nation of men that they should inhabit the whole earth.

And He determined the time set for them and the exact places they should live.

God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him . . .

Though He is not far from each one of us.

For in Him we live and move and have our being.


As some of your own poets have said, "We are His offspring."


Therefore, since we are God's offspring we should not think that . . .

The Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone an image made by man's design and skill.


In the past God overlooked such ignorance,
but now He commands all people everywhere to repent.

For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed.

He has given proof of this to all men by raising Him from the dead.
