• The Bible does not present any proof for the existence of God. It simply declares that God exists and that only a fool denies that fact.
• The verse, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'" is perhaps one of the best-known verses in the Bible. However, many people today would say, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is a God.'" Atheism has become a religion and many individuals and countries base their way of life on the denial of any supernatural being.
• To prove the existence of God some would ask us to consider "cause and effect" as a reason to believe in a God. Every effect, they argue, demands a cause - or if there is a creation there had to be a Creator.
• Some offer the argument of "being." Man has the idea that a perfect being exists somewhere or some place. Where did that come from? Certainly not from ourselves because we know we are imperfect. So, it had to come from a Perfect Being - therefore, God is!
• Others claim the moral argument. We have a voice inside of us that says, "Thou shalt" and at times, "Thou shalt not." Certainly these are not man-made, they say, but God-given. So, there must be a "Moral-Ruler" hence, God.
• Is it wise to try to prove that "God is" with an argument? We can debate that issue forever.
• Would it not be better to live a Christ-filled life that demonstrates the difference that only He can make?
• Prayer: Help us, Lord, to live God-honoring lives and show others that You are alive and well by what we do. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
• Scripture for Today: Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.
