Bible vs. Babble

"And Paul, as his manner was... reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.... Then certain philosophers... encountered him. And some said, what will this babbler say?" (Acts 17:2,18).

The clearest message through the ages,
With evidence for its conclusion,
Is found within the Bible's pages
In contrast to this world's confusion.

Philosophers may lightly dabble
Within the Scriptures now and then,
Yet hold to philosophic babble,
Preferring words from mortal men.

Let us therefore clearly see
This world's babble in disguise,
That mocks all those who disagree,
And praises all who deem it wise.

Let the Bible take its place
Above this world's noisy chatter,
And speak with confidence and grace
Of things that shall forever matter.
