We're Not out of Our Minds

Many people think we, as Christians, are out of our minds. They think that our beliefs are not rational and outdated. They believe that our ways are out of touch with science and what is right. However, they believe these things, because they desire to make the truth whatever they want it to be. They want to eliminate the idea of sin to make them feel less guilt about how they are living. Actually, they want to do away with absolute truth, so everything is relative. Then, truth is whatever each person says it is for themselves. However, if we step back and examine what they are saying and what we, as Christians are saying, we can see that we have a strong point to be made. That is what Paul did when he appeared before the Roman governor, Festus. (Acts 26:25) He simply stood up to Festus, and he let him know that he was not out of his mind. On the contrary, he was speaking words of truth and good judgment. Christians need to do what Paul did today.

Creation could not have happened without an intelligent, powerful Creator. In all of our scientific research and experiments we have never seen order and intelligence come from non-intelligence, disorder, or an explosion. A tornado is powerful, but it doesn't build things; it tears things down. Therefore, it is very logical to believe in God. It is logical to believe that His Spirit inspired the Bible. Once we look at the prophesies and the archeological evidence, it is clear that humans could not have written the Bible to have such agreement over such a long period of time. If God wrote it, when we speak the words of the Bible, we are speaking truth. When we agree with the judgments of God about what is right and wrong, we are showing good judgment. We have every reason to know that what we are saying is right, and we are not out of our minds. Let's decide to speak God's truth in love like Paul did. Let's speak words of good judgment to everyone we meet, so this world will not continue down the road to destruction apart from God.
