Angels as Messengers

Luke 1:5-38

Interest in angels is at an all-time high in our culture, and many people long to have an encounter with them. However, while seeing an angel would be a remarkable event, even the angels themselves are far more concerned that we heed God's messages to us than they are that we see them face to face. We have in Scripture a message from the Lord delivered through the angels (Heb. 2:1-4 ). It is that message we must trust and obey.

Our Highest Calling

Revelation 4
What is the highest calling of the Christian? The continual praise of God by the angels in heaven is one of the many depictions in the Bible that emphasize the importance of worship. Praising our Creator in heaven is the highest duty for the believer; indeed, we are exhorted to worship the Lord in all that we do (1 Cor. 10:31 ). And we should look forward to corporate worship each Sunday, for it is there that we glorify God in the presence of His people and the angels.

Positivism

Psalm 19

Many scientists say that a Creator does not exist or that there is no way of knowing if He exists because we cannot see, hear, taste, touch, or smell Him. Today's passage, however, states that there is empirical evidence to support the existence of God. Creation testifies to the reality of God (Ps. 19:1-6; Rom. 1:18-32). Take some time this week to find and make use of a good apologetic resource that discusses the evidence for the Lord's existence.

Rationality for belief

A rationalist would say that the probability for the existence of God is slightly more probable than not.  So the rational thing to do is suspend a judgement on the existence of God that is based purely on rationality. Every rationalist must countenance the possibility that there is insufficient evidence in order to be convinced strongly of the existence of God.  Even more evidence or the most available convincing arguments, or new arguments which a rationalist may yet come up with, are unlikely to be more convincing.
