Mindless

Read Acts 19.28-34

“.. most of the crowd did not even know why they were there ..” (Acts 19.32)

A mindless confusion becomes the hallmark of a society which has lost the plot (see Gen.11.1-9): such a society resorts to an incessant repetition of memorable but meaningless sound-bites, the noise of which drowns out any reasoned argument!

What similarities do you see between the scenario narrated in these verses and our own society today?

Are there occasions when it’s wiser for the church not to get involved?

Prayer: Lord, for our land in this our generation, spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care: for young and old, for commonwealth and nation, please hear my prayer.
