We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The suffering of sickness and the suffering of persecution have this in common: they are both intended by Satan for the destruction of our faith, and governed by God for the purifying of our faith… Christ sovereignly accomplishes His loving, purifying purpose, by overruling Satan's destructive attempts. Satan is always aiming to destroy our faith; but Christ magnifies His power in weakness.
John Piper

We are meant to long supremely for the Lord Himself, for the Giver, not His gifts. The absence of blessings – rejection, vanity, reviling, illness, poverty – often is the crucible in which we learn to love God for who He is. In our idolatry we make gifts out to be supreme goods, and make the Giver into the errand boy of our desires.

    The pinnacle of evolutionary science

    The pinnacle of evolutionary science It seems to me that evolutionary science can only get a start from men who discount the reality of God. An amazing structure is built upon things conjectured and assumed. It’s kind of like an ice cream cone balancing on a grain of sand. If the founding principle crumbles, the cone will fall over.

    In this regard, evolutionary scientists and followers of Jesus share something in common – a belief that the foundation is trustworthy.

    Rejecting God and the factual truth of scripture, evolutionary scientists form something in an order that they can admire and trust. Science is treated with awe and respect. These feelings/attitudes towards science stand in place of worship of God.

    But some followers of Jesus have experienced the personal loving care of a living God. Like a scientific experiment with a “control”, Jesus’ followers can clearly experience the impact of God on daily life, and the absence of God’s care when He is rejected.

    I have yet to observe evolutionary science bringing hope, peace, forgiveness, healing, fulfillment, patience, or wisdom to a man’s life. But I have observed this happening in the life of a man or woman dedicated to following Jesus.
