Greek temples


This was as close as I could get to the ruins from the Greek temple located near the south coast of Sicily, Italy. My Italian work associate who grew up near here brought me after work, and the museum was closed. We could only view it from a distance, so best I could, I set my camera on the roof of his car and captured this shot.
The temple which used to be was from about 2500 years ago, and obviously did not stand the test of time, the standing seam metal roof customary in our time is long gone. I don't know that I'd enjoy the pew seating without a brick wall to block the sometimes harsh Mediterranian winds. I imagine that the reason it didn't survive was because the congregation didn't possess the one item in this world that is eternal, the Word of God.
Well, as a member of Ironbridge, I did my homework and visited Ironbridge.org to schedule my time to Fill God's House with His Word. As we do this, I'm sure that 2500 years from now, and if God taries, Ironbridge will not be a museum, lacking a roof, that is closed on a Wednesday night!
Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Awesome! I'm so glad you signed up. Let's celebrate God's Word and keep the roof on. ;-)
