“Denial of Faith is Foolishness”

Thoughts for Today:

Over the next few verses, Paul will offer nature as an example of how God can bring life from death, and change the physical elements of substances according to His will. The over-riding point is: There are many examples in nature that illustrate the resurrection. So what's the problem? The problem isn't the proof, but humankind's unwillingness to believe the proof God has provided.

The last one hundred years or so have seen a shift in the attitude of our society. Faith in technology has replaced faith in God. Many no longer believe in anything unless it is proven by science. In fact, those who believe in something science cannot validate are often thought to be backward, naive, or superstitious. That has made Christianity untrustworthy in the eyes of many people. It's one of the reasons evangelical efforts in the Western world are not as productive when compared to less technologically advanced countries.

Most of us would not debate the benefits science and technology have brought to our world. However, social ills have grown exponentially as well. In fact, the more advanced we become, the more we realize that true comfort does not come from our physical environment. We have souls and spirits that can only be satisfied by God. So faith in God is not foolishness. Denial of faith is foolishness.

Questions to Ponder:

Have you been looking at your faith through the lens of science? Try doing just the opposite. Look at science through the lens of faith. Trust God and His Word more than science. Any other approach is foolishness.
