I was talking last night with one of the kids. I think I mentioned that we were going to have a time of prayer and praise today at the SPRING. Anyway, this particular kid’s response was “I don’t want to burst your religion stuff, but I don’t really believe in God.” Well after asking a few questions this person said, “Well I guess I do believe there’s a God but I don’t really believe everything the Bible says.” After a few more questions, it simply became apparent that these were simply excuses not to deal with the Lord’s call on her life. She was running away and her “doubting” was simply her means of escape.
Have you ever talked to someone who didn’t believe in God? Who had doubts about His Word? How do you deal with those questions? Perhaps by asking other questions...
Where did this world and everything in it come from anyway?
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
We may be able to take someone's life but can we cause life to come into existence? Can we create life out of nothing but the dust of the earth? Who on earth created the process of conception and birth?
Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 (NASB)
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,

How many perfect people do you know; Perfectly Holy, perfectly pure, immovable and unchangeable?
“There is no one holy like the LORD,
Indeed, there is no one besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God.
He said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,
The Bible has been around for a long time. It is a compilation of 66 books written by over 40 different authors inspired by God. There are no contradictions and no errors in the original manuscripts. Nobody has ever disproved anything in the Bible. Archaeology has in fact supported and substantiated many things in the Bible. God’s Word is true.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)
The Bible says in
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
The key to believing in God is faith…believing what He says in His Word…that He is God, that sin has spoiled our relationship with Him and that we must have faith that He has our best interest at heart…
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (NLT)
Seek Him today. Trust Him today. You have a lot more to gain (eternal life, purpose for living, etc.) than you have to lose (your doubts, living for self only, etc.).
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NASB)
