SERMON:  LEAVE BABYLON AND REJECT ITS THINKING.
1] FAITHLESSNESS: “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 people are without excuse.”
2] FUTILITY:“For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
3] FOOLISHNESS “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the Glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.” (Romans 1:20-23)
