Worth Repeating - August 22, 2017


John 4: 24 “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (NIV)


We all have two choices in life: to be surprised by the absurdity of the universe or to be surprised by the meaningfulness of the universe.*


Part of my job as a mom was to help my children understand the difference between fantasy and reality. There is no such thing as ghosts, Santa Claus, or animals that chat with humans. Did I confuse them, then, when I also taught them about God who is invisible, who is everywhere and actually is a ghost?

It defies logic. We don’t believe in magic so why believe in the supernatural? And yet . . . when we trace nature back to its very beginning, we are left with two choices for how we got here – and both of them are unbelievable. So I choose to believe that God is spirit and that all things were created by him.

Once we have acknowledged God as creator, we find ourselves again at the crossroads of choice. Ignoring him is an option that many have chosen. I choose to worship him in spirit and in truth. What will your choice be?


Atheists are the greatest fools in nature; for they see there is a world that could not make itself, and yet they will not own there is a God that made it.*
