In this day and age it seems to be a very socially acceptable thing to question God’s existence. A negative light has been cast on anything with the name Christ in it. Those who cast a negative light have the idea that those of us who trust in Christ are ignorant. Because we Christians do not put our faith in the big bang theory or any evolutionary or mainstream scientific thought on the beginning of life, we are considered unlearned. These scientists love to tell us how these gases came together and exploded and out of that horrific chaos came orderly life. But if once asked, “where did the gases come from?” the scientist gets stumped and cannot explain, even in theory, where they came from. But, they will sell you a package of beliefs on evolution, nonetheless, and will get mad if you don’t buy. That is the current situation where mankind has found himself.

It is my belief that, in one way or another, God has shown every one of us that He exists.  If my thoughts are correct, it means that everyone who has denied there is a God has done so willfully. They have literally went where no Christian chooses to go–a place where they knowingly deny God and Christ and deny anything that has God’s stamp on it such as the Bible and living the holy lifestyle he asks of us. This type of denial is what eventually turns unbelievers into angry reprobates.

Is it a good thing to believe in God? Well, the Bible says it is. It also says that anyone who disbelieves in God is doing evil to such a degree that they deserve hell and the lake of fire. The atheist laughs and mocks this truth.

I’m not writing this to come down on the people who believe there isn’t a God. God still loves them. It’s the belief of nothingness I am coming down on. The atheistic belief in nothingness. And truly it is not I who is greatly offended, but God himself. It is an obvious thing that we are here living on earth along with thousands of plant and animal genres. With that said, and with all that we know, when has one person ever witnessed life come from non-living material, whether out in the earth by a freak evolutionary event or in a controlled environment by a scientist who is all but forcing life to come of non-living material. The answer is…wait for it…wait for it…not one person has ever witnessed this. In all the history of mankind no one has either witnessed an evolutionary event or by way of science, forced an evolutionary event. So my question is…why believe it? On the other hand, there are thousands of folks who say they have a true witness of and for God. So, again, my question is…why do you not believe it?

I could sit here all day and stab holes in evolutionary theory but I won’t. I’m not exactly trying to convince those who do not believe in God to believe in God. They have made their decision and few come off it. What I am doing is asking the previous two questions in light of my philosophy and making a bold statement directed at the undecided to take a good look at the Christian God for truth. If it utterly fails you, then don’t believe. If it does not, wouldn’t you say you have found a lost pearl in a hundred acre farm? After all, we search for our beginnings as people who are DNA ingrained to search it out and not as one who is just mildly curious.

Finally, if you haven’t given God the chance to be your beginning, middle, and end, and if you want to try, take this opportunity to introduce yourself.

Much love,
