This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon on the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, in particular one of the arguments for the existence of the gods presented by Balbus, which we can call the argument from divination. The argument essentially consists in claiming that divination, that is consulting the knowledge or will of divine beings, could not work if there were no divine beings. Since divination does work, there must be divine beings.

God wants you to know and understand Him. When you do, you will trust Him. You will never draw back. Everything God does flows from His love for His children. Right now, everything we need for life and godliness has already been made available through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. He withholds nothing that Christ has purchased for us.
The book of Hebrews reminds us that today is always the day of salvation. In other words, we are not waiting for another day or a unique moment. Now is the moment for you to come to God, knowing that the answer to all of your needs in Christ is a resounding “yes!” Our salvation has been bought, paid for, and is being offered at this very moment! 
Interestingly, the Greek word translated as “saved” is not limited to the new birth. That word paints a breathtaking picture: born again, healed, delivered, blessed, prospered, protected, made whole, and set apart. Every promise finds its “yes” in Christ—now, not someday.
Still, there are moments when God reveals what we need exactly when we need it. At other times, He withholds certain things for our protection. But He never withholds the things essential for an abundant life today.
When we train our hearts to recognize the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit, we are never left in confusion. We’ll know what to do and who to trust. He’ll show us where and how to walk to reach our desired destination, so we can experience the abundant life Jesus promised… right now!
Join us this week as we explore how to prepare our hearts to hear God’s voice. The Word of God is the unshakable truth that sustains us; the Spirit provides the wisdom and power to live it out. Don’t miss this life-changing message!
