This Sunday, we will discuss the ever-present invisible God. The infinite, invisible God we
live inside. We will dwell on what it means to have a living God in our life. We
will review what a living God can do. Then we will treat why so many do not
believe. The ever-present invisible God is always there. He is always with us.
We have a
living God. What does that mean? A pool or beach with lifeguards seems safer
than one without. A building with a fire sprinkler system seems a safer place
to work or live. Our life in God is much safer than a life with no God. We have
a resource we can turn to when things are not going well. We have someone
looking after us.
What can the
living God do? He can heal the sick and resurrect the dead. He can feed the hungry
on miracles. He is unstoppable because he can even resurrect himself from the
dead. He creates matter and living creatures. God filled the sky with stars and
the earth with life. Seas, skies, and lands are abundantly supplied with life. God
is brilliantly creative.
So why do so
many not believe in God? Seeing the righteous suffering or the innocent killed
is too much. Unlike the excellent example of Job in the Old Testament or Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible collection of stories filled with lessons, some people treat suffering as proof that there is no God. They do not understand
pain and suffering add heartache and drama to creation. The vast theater
range of creation's theater of the mind includes more than romance.
Let it sink
into your head; we have a living God. That is the best explanation for
the universe's origins and life…
