Some would say faith and reason are like oil and water. They just don’t go together. No reasonably educated human being could possibly believe in God. But after twenty plus years of earnestly following after Jesus and applying his ancient teachings to my contemporary life I have found (just as He suggested) that a simple childlike faith is not only reasonable, it’s logical. If I believe in God and the One He sent, Jesus Christ, and take His Word literally, whenever He is speaking literally, then my faith is as logical as two plus two equals four. If God said it, I can believe it. Whatever God has said that He will do, He will do. Whether I see Him doing it or not is irrelevant. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
The more I get to know the Creator of the Universe through fellowship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the more logical He seems to me. He is not schizophrenic as some would suggest, claiming to be pure love and then seemingly without justification pouring out unfathomable wrath on even the most innocent among us. He is always loving, always just, always holy, always merciful, always gracious. He is never not any of these, but is the full and perfect expression of all of these at once and constantly. If I am ever trying to understand a situation and my logical conclusion suggest that He is not one of the above, then my logic is void of faith and my perspective is void of truth.
This is the rock my feet have found to stand on. I found it because He sat me on it. Through this blog I want to share with others the hope I have in the God who called me out of darkness into the light. He guides me through seasons of plenty, scarcity, uncertainty, and sufficiency. He is a good Teacher and I love to share with others the mysteries of His Word that He reveals to me along the path of righteousness that He has called me to. I invite you to go with me. It’s quite interesting and I love discovering how amazing He is.
