We Need An Answer! By Sandy Shaw | Submitted On October 13, 2016 Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article Expert Author Sandy Shaw Do we not meet this type of challenging questioning more frequently than we would like to admit? As faith in Jesus Christ and belief in the Bible as the Word of God are being marginalised this appears to be becoming more relevant and apposite. How do you handle faith in Jesus Christ, when people suggest, that you are dumb, or daft, believing that? A very strong 'philosophy', or personal viewpoint, these days is that there are no absolute truths. Challenge that with, "Are you absolutely sure?" I found that so helpful recently in various conversations. All ideas are not equally valid. Try dialling any telephone number to reach your home. Only one number enables you to reach home. Is there not a spiritual parallel? This illustration I also found extremely helpful. Jesus Christ taught, "I am the way and the truth and the life, and no man comes to Father except through me". Now, that statement in John Chapter 14 is absolutely true or Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is a liar, and I would not want to be in that camp of unbelief and rebellion. Over these many years, I have found Jesus Christ, and the Bible, to be true, faithful and utterly and totally reliable. Teenager Daniel had to undertake that three year educational programme, which was totally alien to his Hebrew upbringing, but he had decided in advance to stand for God. He made up his mind, before the cultural and educational rigours confronted him. Daniel protected his mind and his heart. He knew that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. When the Bible speaks of fools it does not refer to a lack of any mental or academic ability, but denotes one who is morally deficient. Paul, writing to young Pastor Timothy, encourages him to study to show himself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed. God would have us be life-long students or disciples. A wise man will steep himself in God's Word. We steep clothes in water. We steep a teabag in boiling water, soaking and saturating it, to release its taste and flavour. Wisdom is not given, nor released, instantly. Joshua was taught to study God's Word continually, and meditate upon it day and night, so that he may be careful to obey everything that is written in it, and become prosperous and successful. "Meditate? Would I be able to meditate? Meditation is something I find very difficult. I do not think I could meditate." Often, people will say this type of thing to me. Can we answer satisfactorily? Most sincere people do want to know if we have sincere and genuine answers to their questions! If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate! Learn the truth, in order to discern the lies.
