“God isn’t a statistic, he isn’t an argument to be won, and he isn’t a tangible entity that was meant to be figured out. STOP! trying to find God through the arguments and resources of the World. That’s like trying to find light in a black hole…” – Me
Proverbs 12:18 “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
You cannot grasp God in this World… and this week in Sociology class I’ve realized it’s become an obsession with people, both Christians and non-Christians alike. There is always an argument and always a rebuttal to any statement someone may make about God or any topic. God is not an argument to be won… He is the one and only absolute. He is outside of time and space. No end and no beginning. And until you treat him as such, you will waste your life away trying to grasp Him and His ways.
You cant understand God in a “fallen world.” It is like trying to find light in a black hole. It can’t be done. The only truth of God that you can find on this Earth is by looking to the Word and realizing the only light in this World, now, are the true followers of Jesus Christ. We are a light. And if we truly know God, the truth we confess and the wisdom we profess to the World is of God and is the the only truth that proves the absolute Himself.

Dude Eric, that’s deep man! I was very touched while reading this. You are so right. Thanks for posting that.
You are so right to point people to God’s Word. When Jesus and his followers were confronted, they responded with the Word. And so often no one was able to come back with any kind of argument against what they said. People were left speechless. That is my prayer for our frequency kids and leaders, that their testimony will be so strong and the fruit of the Holy Spirit so evident in their lives, that no one will be able to refute the true Word that they share, but instead the listeners will be born again.
Of course, we also read in the Bible of times when Christians were opposed. So I pray that even at times when they might be opposed, they will stand firmly on God’s Word, knowing that He is right there with them and working in ways they may not be able to see.
Amen amen.
