Jim Denison writes in his blog, of a group who call themselves American Athiests. They have gotten in the news this last week (athiests are always newsworthy - remember Madelyn O'Hair?) These folks are claiming that the story of Jesus is a myth. What else would you expect from such a group?
It doesn't bother me when there are opponents to the Christian faith. There always has been and will be. Athiests should not be intimidating. They only have faith to go on in their beliefs. It is an empty faith. We also have only faith to go on. It is a Creator given and blessed faith. Who is right?
Well we will not be the judge. The One in charge of judgement will be the One.
The ones hard to deal with, and live with, are those who DO have a God. Some even have Jehovah God. But God without Christ is not God, for He is the great Three In One! He sent His Son who is a part of the Trinity, on a Divine Mission. It was not a pretty or easy assignment, but it was a total success and has literally changed this world as the results have changed myriads of lives.
To seek to communicate and win a person who has a religion is far more difficult than dealing with an athiest. Jim reminded us of a Billy Graham quote. When asked how he could know there is a God, the great evangelist said, "I know because I talked with Him this morning."
Have you talked with Him this morning?
