Faith & Religion

Yes, the Bible provides compelling evidence that God exists. It encourages us to build faith in God, not by blindly believing religious assertions, but by using our “power of reason” and “mental perception.” (Romans 12:1; 1 John 5:20, footnote) Consider the following lines of reasoning based on the Bible:

Several years ago, a lady came into our church offices seeking financial advice. It seems that she had “fallen in love” with someone in Nigeria (sight unseen) and had been sending that person lots and lots of money - per their request - believing they would soon come to America and engage in . . . wedded bliss. She had lost most of her savings and now that her money was gone, so was he. She was deceived, of course - hoodwinked out of her life savings.

Like many of you, I grew up in church. Back then, church was quiet. Shhhh…Once you entered through the sanctuary doors, there seemed to be a mood of solemness. As a kid, I thought if I sneezed too loudly it was a terrible thing. But things change - Hallelujah - and today, many churches now see themselves as places of Godly celebration and fellowship. I’m convinced that Jesus had great spirited meetings and that laughter, excitement, and passion were always in play.
