A Challenge

  • Post comments:0 Comments

Indeed, ask about the earlier days that preceded you, from the day God created man on the earth and from one end of the heavens to the other: Has anything like this great event ever happened, or has anything like it been heard of?——- Today, recognize and keep in mind that the Lord is God in heaven above and on earth below; there is no other. Keep His statutes and commands, which I am giving you today so that you and your children after you may prosper and so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”

Deuteronomy 4:32-40 HCSB

God is not afraid of the results of honest critical thinking. He challenges you to examine all of history. Ask if you will, is there anything that can be disputed with God? Crawl aboard the fastest rocket ship. Set it at Mach 15 warp drive speed. Travel from one end of the universe to the other. Find if you can anything in this limitless universe that resembles the Greatness of our God. Seek out and find harm that is done by God. Find if you can an intelligent being who upon studying all the facts will declare that God is not!

* Show me if you will a nation that ever failed as a result of exalting the One True God.

* Deliver to me if you can the proof of harm being done to children because they were taught the Ten Commandments

* Read to me, if you can find them, the reports of prayer being detrimental to our health.

* Find me even one family that was destroyed because husband and wife loved the Lord their God with all their heart.

* Do you know of a child whose life was destroyed because his parents took him to church too often?

* Can you find even one atheist who loves his neighbors enough to die for them?

* Show me anywhere in this world where homosexuality was responsible for anything good.

* Search diligently and see if you can find a couple who was sold out to Jesus and their marriage ended in divorce.

Know this day all that you can know. Today with all the brainpower that is available to you, consider with all your knowledge is there anything like our God?

God throws down this challenge. He is not afraid of the results. He can stand it.

From Down Where The Pavement Ends

Pavement Ends Ministry

After years of serving in a pastoral role in several churches, I retired from leading a church full time, but wanted to stay active in preaching the Gospel. I started writing brief, parable-like devotions that were shared through a radio ministry. At the end of the radio spot, I always invite people to come and see me “down where the pavement ends.” (Which comes from the fact that I literally live at the end of a paved road!)
