God begins this Scripture by revealing that faith is “reality” and “proof.” Through faith we can be certain that God created the universe from nothing, that 8 people survived a planet-wide flood aboard Noah’s Ark, that Jesus died on the cross and rose on Easter Sunday, and that we will spend eternity in heaven with Jesus our Savior. We cannot see these things with our physical eyes, but we can see them clearly through the vision of faith.
Meditation: Faith of a Child, or a Search for Proof?
Our Creator God is our Savior God. A God who is full of grace, that undeserved love for every person in the entire world. A God who is full of truth. A God who reveals mysteries to us.
Description What does John the Baptist do with his doubts? He brings his question to Jesus. He doesn’t let the doubt overwhelm him.
And he doesn’t discard his faith at the moment it’s opposed with what seems to be evidence to the contrary.
Description
How about starting each day by reciting out loud a positive passage from Scripture? A great choice would be, This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. These words are packed with so much meaning. The Psalmist starts by declaring God to be our creator. God created everything, including time itself. God made today!
Description
"So also our God works our genetics, experience, and environment into a beautiful tapestry. He arranges history and circumstance to reach out to each of us with the energizing power of the Gospel. Our sins have indeed caused damage that will result in our death. But God gives us new life that grows out of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Description
There is a narrow Lutheran middle road regarding Creation. Let’s travel that narrow road while not falling into the ditches on either side. The ditch on one side incorrectly sees arguments from reason as able to aid in creating or sustaining faith. The ditch on the other side incorrectly sees no place at all for arguments from reason in our apologetic (in our defense of the faith).
Description
The term comes from a medieval English philosopher and Franciscan monk named William of Ockham who held to the principle that “plurality should not be posited without necessity.â€1 In other words,one should avoid adding additional steps or parts to an explanation when fewer steps or parts would suffice as well or better. Occam's razor is sometimes called the law of parsimony, which means “the simpler the assumption, the more likely it is correct.†This principle was often used in medieval philosophy, and neither the name nor the idea originated with William, but he often made use of it in his work.
