Acts 17:21

For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

1. Luke tells us the many Athenians were "babblers" (seed pickers).

2. They spent their day in doing nothing but telling or hearing from others about some new idea, thought, teaching, philosophy, god, or moral truth.

3. The 21 st century citizens have the same philosophy of life. Whatever is NEW is BETTER. We want the newest car, computer, refrigerator, or TV set. When something new comes along, we feel that the world has left us in the dust and the only way to catch up is the buy the newest, latest, and assumed, best available.
