Are You a Fool?



For since
the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so
that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not
glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and
their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:20-21 NKJV.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” - Psalm 53:1a; Psalm 14:1a
NKJV.

A. Renault is no fool, because he has complained about the billboards funded by
the Humanist Society, which according to A. Renault are offensive and mock the
Christian faith. The billboards say
things like “In the beginning, man created god, there's probably no god, now
stop worrying and enjoy your life.” Also there is a sign that
states, “We are all atheists about most gods, some of us just go one god
further.” Mr. Renault complained to the Advertising Standards Authority;
however, they have now rejected his complaint because they do not believe the
billboards violate the advertising ethics rules. Mr. Renault is no fool, but
apparently there are a few fools still out there.

Why is someone a fool not to believe in God? The answer is obvious according to
the apostle Paul, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal
power and Godhead….” In other words, you just have to look around
at the world in which you live, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe; and
for anyone who has a brain, it is obvious there is an intelligent designer, and
Creator responsible for all of creation. Or, as some have said, you just have
to look at your thumb to know that there is a Creator!

Our enemies have captured different pieces of our technology and have
successfully reverse engineered the technology to create their own devices. The
brightest human minds have been busy for decades trying to reverse engineer the
human body. The result, progress has been made, but any doctor will tell you
that we know little compared to what we need to know. If you take all the
chemicals that make up the human body and throw them into the air, how many
times will it take until they fall to the earth in the form of a human being? I
would submit to you that you could do it a billion or trillion times, and it
will never happen! Why? Because only God, the One true God can create life,
breathing life into His creation.

You may not be able to talk to or see Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the
telephone, but you know that the telephone did not think itself up, and create
itself. The telephone had a creator. There is a Creator for every living
organism upon this planet. This planet did not think itself up, and create
itself. No, the Planet Earth had a Creator, and that Creator is God.

Would you like to meet the Creator of all things? Would you like to meet God?
You can by coming to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is, of
course, your choice. You can choose to be a fool, and deny what is obvious to
anyone who honestly considers the evidence. You can do that, but as the
Psalmist declares you are a fool if you do.
