My Tower is Bigger than Your Tower

The continuing saga of the Tower of Babel (review part 1 here).



The great flood of Genesis 9 wiped out all the people in the area and everything that they had built, planted, and created. Now in Genesis 11, the people have migrated eastward and settled on a plain in Shinar. In the process of rebuilding, some of the people decided to unite their efforts and build a grandiose tower.

The Tower of Babel

(I preached today in our home church in Mexico City (Asamblea Cristiana). I will share my sermon with you here and in the next few blogs)

    I grew up in a town called Hamden in southern Connecticut and I lived in a neighborhood which consisted mainly of Italians. Our town and the surrounding area enjoyed the best pizza places and Italian bakeries, owned and operated by many Italian immigrants and their families. It seemed that everyone had names like Proscino, Velardi, Fiondella, and Cappucci - and that was just my mother's side of the family. In fact, as a youngster, I thought everyone in the whole world was Italian, because that was the world in which I lived.
