This is a really good sermon on Jeremiah 29. Kevin DeYoung.
1. Settle down. 2. Seek the peace of the city. 3. Look to the end with Christ.
Rod Dreher gave a good talk here.
Besides settling down and embedding ourselves in our culture (Jer. 29, above), we also need to be ready to be thrown in a furnace, like Daniel's friends, rather than live by lies about idols that the state or big business try to press on us. Are we ready to do this? Wokeness is the beginning of this press, according to Eastern Europeans who saw it happen in their country, under the Soviet Union.
Also in print form in Touchstone, May/June 2022 - "Babylon's Furnace."
More Kevin DeYoung - here some deep historical theology.
What can unbelievers know about God? God reveals Himself to them plainly (Romans 1), but they cannot receive it (1 Cor. 2). But to say any thoughts unbelievers have about God will be false theology seems to go a bit too far.
