The Mulligan pt 2

In my last entry I asked that you think about an excerpt from a book I was reading entitled  The Mulligan;  " in my opinion not believing in God makes about as much sense as saying the unabridged dictionary is a result of an explosion in a print shop."

Is God the creator and master of the universe or did, as some would have us believe, the Earth and all it's wonders somehow "evolve" in a "Big Bang?"  2 Timothy 3:16 says "All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.  The Bible tells us that God created the earth and all that it contains including the men and women who walk upon it's surface.

As the quote from the book suggests, do you really think all that surrounds us is the result of some random act of nature?   Walk through a forest, sit at the edge of the ocean or atop a majestic mountain in the Rockies and try to tell me that you can't see the hand of God at work. 

God's greatest work however was His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who was given to us, suffered for us, and died for us so that our sins, yours and mine, would be forgiven.  Scripture tells us that by one man's disobedience sin and death entered God's creation, so also through another man's obedience the gift of grace is freely given to all who believe in Jesus Christ.  With God's grace comes the promise of eternal life and forgiveness of all our sins. 

We are not some random fortune of nature but children of a God who created us, nutures us and loves in spite of our sinful nature.  Take a moment then to thank God for His presence in your life and for the world in which we live.  If you're having trouble finding God just walk outside into His creation and know that God will find you.

The Mulligan

I'm re-reading a book entitled The Mulligan and I'd like to share a line or two from the book with you. Of course its a book about golf and the "old pro" is speaking with a new student; he asks him if he believes in God?  "I haven't given it much thought" replies  the young man.  Well says the old pro " in my opinion not believing in God makes about as much sense as saying the unabridged dictionary is a result of an explosion in a print shop."

Take just a moment won't you and think about that statement it's a lot to think about.

After Advent pt. 2

Athanasius, the 20th Bishop of Alexandria said the following:

"Jesus became what we are to make us what He is."

Nuff said!
