A Word from Mars Hill
Around 50–51 C.E., the apostle Paul stood on a famous hill in Athens, the Areopagus, also called Mars Hill. Before him were Athenians and their philosophers. And he did what we try to do on this website.
Paul did not attack their religion. He had noticed one of their altars, inscribed "To an Unknown God," and he made it a bridge to his message: a declaration about the one Savior, and about His resurrection from the dead (Acts 17:22–31).
On this website you will meet that same message. It stands on two sets of books:
Comparatively speaking, all other faiths, beautiful though they may be, are loitering in the cemetery.
But not this one. Not the one Paul preached.
When you come in, you will find a menu, like the menu in a fine restaurant. Every item on it has a short note telling you what it is, so you can choose where to go next, one small plate at a time. There is no need to take in everything at once.
Enter with Prayer
Because we dare not "boast about tomorrow," or, for that matter, about 2033, we ask you to enter with prayer.
