The Athenians..spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing...

@toadhouse7homestead871 I hear you. God give us strength.

Proverbs 8: For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

1Corinthians 1: But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Colossians 2: 2That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Ephesians 3: 6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Matt 13: 44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
