The Road Through Romans is a discussion that is taking a look at every verse in the Book Of Romans. To be honest I am not sure this epoch of time has enough left in it for us to finish the discussion, but we will plod along until the age changes or the end of the book comes… whichever comes first.
If you have missed any of our previous discussions (and they are legion) you can find them on THE ROAD THROUGH ROMANS PAGE
We have been discussing verse 20 of Romans chapter 1 which says,
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
We have spent the better part of the last twenty posts on TRTR discussing those invisible attributes. I think I was actually taking so long getting through those qualities of God because I didn’t want to face the last four words of the verse.
We finished with the final invisible quality of God over a week ago and I have been unable to face writing what has to come next because this part of the good news is hard to take in.
There is a power in the world working overtime to convince us that there is no God or that if there is a God, He is some distant far away being who set the world to spinning and then walked away. Yet the creation itself tells us, if we will look at it, that not only is there a God but He knows us and desires relationship with us.
At the end of time no one will be able to excuse themselves for not knowing God by saying “There was no way I could have known about God.”
To them God will say,
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
In other words the problem is not that nothing in life points people to God. It is that in spite of the fact that creation screams out about God, people would rather believe anything else.

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. I Cor. 3: 10-15

The Codex
by JE Lillie
Sinna’s every nerve vibrated with a desire to run, but he had to see the Codex. He clung to the shadows of the holy chamber, listening for any sign that the Eldaar were coming. When he was certain he was safe he moved into the flickering torchlight. The altar was reached in less than a breath’s space.
As he looked at the Codex’s intricate symbols Sinna realized with dismay he could not read the runes.
Dismay turned to despair as the Eldaar stepped from the shadows. Sinna heard the blade hiss before the darkness engulfed him.
Now please take some time to read the other stories at Friday Fictioneers by clicking the underlined link above and following the little blue frog.
This week Nancy Merrill has challenged us to show her A REFLECTIVE SURFACE.
I took this photo in Ireland in the town of Clifden above Kylemore Abbey
I didn’t even notice the town was reflecting in the roof of the car until I got back to the U.S. and put the photos into Photoshop.
Here is the black & white version of the same photo minus some cropping and turning.
I just love the warmth that is coming over my little portion of the Earth right now. The warmth reminds me that summer is coming and summer reminds me of the color TROPICAL RAIN FOREST, which just happens to be the next color challenge from Jennifer Nichole Wells. You can find all Jen’s contributors for this color by clicking the underlined link.
