Man often doubts, denies, exaggerates, and neglects God’s mercy all of which have serious consequences. That puts a great responsibility on each of us, to not only guard ourselves but also to watch for one another and our families.
As distrust and turmoil continue, doubt, even about God’s mercy, may be growing in us or others. Before doubt turns to denial, let’s spotlight the flaws of it. When we doubt God’s mercy, we often overlook. . .
Part 2, on the common pairing of "mercy and truth" (lovingkindness and faithfulness)
After learning about God, we learn what God has said. Then we learn about sin, salvation, and Christ. This prepares us to know the church of Christ. Are you familiar with the church of Christ? If you are, how would you respond to someone who is not?
Who poses the greatest threat to the introduction and growth of the gospel in the hearts of men? Is it the strident, influential atheist or is it people who claim to believe in God and the Bible but who contradict God and the Bible? This is one of the challenges we face because of the many views of "God, Science, and You"! [This is the final lesson in this series]
There is a war going on, instigated by those who demand "Science without God!". You must choose a side in this battle, and choosing God's side means others are opposed to you. In this lesson, we identify challenges we face because of those who seek to remove God fromnthe science, society, and souls of men!
Today, you can visit the site where the walls of Jericho once stood. Some experts even believe they have found the walls that fell in the days of Joshua. But visiting the site will not offer the insights that Scripture does about Israel's visit to Jericho. Those lessons are only available by the witness the Holy Spirit has given about those events.
Whether you are interested in God, science, or yourself does not change the relationship between the three. With or without your interest, you are involved so it is in your best interest to understand how all of these relate to each other.
Psalms 19 contains poetry, science, and ethics/morals in 14 verses about God. Do God and science belong together? Many of our educational leaders have made their opinion clear. What do you believe?
1,500 people died in the Titanic disaster, while 705 individuals survived. There are many such stories of great numbers of souls being lost and saved--some
known and many other stories unrecorded and forgotten. Once, around 3,000 souls were rescued in one day while many more souls chose to remain in the sea of sin. What happened on that day?
It isn't a stretch to imagine David composing the words of Psalm 8 as a shepherd under the starry sky. Such observations and thoughts qualify David as a novice astronomer. Similarly, we are all at least novice scientists as we explore and learn from the physical world around us. Sadly, many professional scientists have decided that God does not belong in the process of learning called "Science." In order to successfully sort through what is "science fact" or "science fiction" we need to weigh God, Science, and YOU! This four part series begins by investigating what science is, its limitations, and its value. Can such a study be conducted with an open mind and Bible? Listen and see.
