Can you read the signs? The weather signs are pretty simple today - RAIN. But can you read the signs of culture? Can you see the trends in how people think and what people are searching for in life? Paul displayed his ability to read the signs in Acts 17 where he spoke to the people of Athens. He read that they were a very religious people seeking a connection with the divine. Open minded to new thoughts and new ways of thinking. So he gave them a message not about the Jewish history of the Messiah, but about how there is a God in Jesus who can be known. We must also learn to read the signs of our culture and our day and to be able to present Jesus in a culturally relevant way.
