My son, Mark, passes his old Time magazines to me.
In the issue I was reading today, side by side, were two articles, one on the giant roller coaster, Goliath, at a park near Chicago, the other telling of the a growing fad in America, "atheist churches."
Where is the connection you may ask?
Well, if you are an atheist (and I haven't met too many of them) you are bound to this planet by the process of reason and by a creed that declares all there is for you is confined to this life and, that all you can see around you can be explained by the working of reason and natural laws.
Now, on the other hand, if you are a believer in Christ, get ready to strap yourself into a ride that will outstrip "Goliath" for daily thrills. Living by faith in the promises of God, Who controls the whole earth by His power and wisdom, will match any any man-made junket this world can offer.
To cast off the shackles of a life lived by "reason only" and to trust in the up holding Hand of the Holy Spirit is as exhilarating as walking on water.
More than one person has suggested that, in living by faith, I am "round the bend", to which I reply " come and join me, the view from God's inverter is stupendous!"
"Aaaarghhh! Here we go for another thrill"
Jubilate.
