This Sunday we take a look at Acts 17 and Paul's sermon on Mars Hill in Athens. When talking with the Greek philosophers he refers to an altar that is dedicated to "The Unknown God". There is nothing wrong with staying so humble as to recognize that we don't know everything. Whatever we might know about anything is probably only scratching the surface. So it good not to make an absolute out of anything or make concrete judgements based on first appearances.

On the other hand, if we are too ambigous to make any real clear statements, then we affect nothing. While blanket statements do their best so as to not leave anyone out, they also make false inclusions. Admitting that we don't know everything should cause us to hunger to know more but when the admission to not knowing leads to apathy. Naming something based on the information one has might lead to having egg on your face but it also leads to growth. Making a decision even it is a wrong one at least gets you off of the couch.

Take a stand. Be bold enough claim whatever it is you believe. Things we label unknown have a tendency of staying that way. We stop messing with them, we forget about them, they have no form or identity. God is not satisified with us leaving God alone. The truth is, the more we explore God, the world around us, and the people within it, the better we understand who we are and our role in the story of our lives.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. Just so you know, whenever you love boldly, whenever you open your circle wider to include more, whenever you practice peace over violence and forgiveness over vengeance, whenever you welcome people and accept people that most of the world does not, whenever you see anyone more than what they are worth in dollar signs, whenever you practice empathy and care, whenever you give of yourself, there will always be those who bully, who will throw stones your way and call you names. They will say you are radical. They might even say you are drunk on new wine. If that be the case, drink up I say, drink up. If lovin is wrong, I don't want to be right.
