 Is There A God?
by Gianni Truvianni | January 08, 2008
Category: News and Society / Religion
Is there a God? This is a question that has been around with man as long as man has been around. Of coarse there are those whose faith is such that it has answered this question in the affirmative leaving them with no room for doubt in their mind as to God’s Existence. However there is another group who have not seen enough to convince them that a superior power is above them as these fail to believe what their eyes have not confirmed. In this tug-a-war that goes back in forth in its attempt to prove weather or not God exists there is a third group who are known as agnostics. The members of this 3rd group are willing to accept that their might be a god but have not yet seen enough evidence to persuade them in either direction. Perhaps to them on the one hand the words of the bible though well written do not constitute proof but on the other hand they may not want to rule out the possibility of a higher power that might grant them life after death. Agnosticism maybe also be fueled by the fact that nobody has produced concrete evidence showing that God is merely a figure of someone’s imagination while concrete evidence also has not been shown that a god has to exist.

Joy Is Like a Train

Category: News and Society / Religion
All things considered, letting Christ be the only Way to joy is a lot like riding a train. This is not because He takes us up and out of this reality, but because the work required from us to receive joy from Christ is more of a non-work.

Spontaneous people might appreciate unexpected joy in Christ because the best kind of joy is seasoned with at least a dash of spontaneity. We can’t see it coming, but that’s what makes it great.
