Practical Atheist, our new series, began yesterday and boy was it good. I don't really know how you put it all into words but it was challenging and refreshing at the same time.
Here is what a practical atheist is:
SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN GOD, BUT LIVES AS IF HE DOESN’T EXIST.
Think about that for just a minute. Is that you? Do you believe in God for convenience? Is he your "Get out of hell free card"?
Speaking in more detail Craig was able to explain what it is to fear God in terms that just about any one could understand.
When you say "fear God" so many people take the negative. You imagine this big person standing over you ready to beat you if you act up (sin). But that's not God. Understanding and knowing to fear God is a real understanding and appreciation of how big and great God really is.
Here's what Craig spoke and said you will do when you fear God:
-YOU’LL SERVE HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS.
-YOU’LL BE FOREVER RUINED (in a good way).
So do you fear the Lord, the awesome God that created you and me? Do you serve Him wholeheartedly? Are you ruined for Him, for His plans, for his will in your life?
It's time to stop being a practical atheist and serve God and know that He loves you to much for you to just get by.
(PS: God ruined me yesterday. No more convenience for me. It all or nothing.)
