For What it’s Worth…

A newspaper columnist wrote:
“The average church goer takes a few hours out of the week to experience the sacred … But the rest of the time, he is immersed in a society that no longer acknowledges God as an omniscient and omnipotent force to be loved and worshipped… Today we are too sophisticated for God. We can stand on our own; we are prepared and ready to choose and define our own existence.”
As challenging as these words are, they do make a very real point. We do live in a society that has, in its own estimation, ‘outgrown God’. [We see the increasingly stark consequences of a ‘God-less’ society]. Hebrews addressed ‘exiles and strangers’ (Heb. 11v13), those who live by faith in the promises of God, walking ‘by faith and not by sight’ (2 Cor 5v7). How do you feed your faith in a barren world?
