The British preacher Charles Spurgeon shared this story and thought when he was preaching about Romans 1:20-21:
After a missionary had gone into a certain part of India and had given away New Testaments, a Hindu waited upon him and asked him this question — "Did you not write that first chapter in the Epistle to the Romans after you came here?" "No," replied the missionary, "I did not write it at all. It has been there nearly two thousand years." The Hindu said, "Well, if it has not been written since you came here, all I can say is, that it might have been so written, for it is a fearfully true description of the sin of India."
It is also much more true, even of London, than some of us would like to admit. Even here are committed those vices, the very mention of which would make the cheek of modesty to crimson. However, I am not going to talk about India — they are a long way off. I am not going to speak about the ancient Romans — they lived a couple of thousand years ago. I am going to speak about ourselves and about some persons here whom my text admirably fits. I fear that I am speaking to some who are "without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful."
As we've seen in our readings of the scriptures so far, Humanity is the same yesterday and today, only our technology is different. Romans 1 highlights who we are without God and sadly, you may see many of these attributes having a prominent place in our country today. Thankfully, Jesus and revival is just a prayer away!
Join me in reading Romans 1 and be encouraged!
