IT WOULD SEEM STRANGE THAT CHRISTIANITY
SHOULD HAVE COME INTO THE WORLD JUST TO
RECEIVE AN EXPLANATION - Soren Kierkegaard
Scientific-oriented people cannot believe there is a God so they like to think that maybe there is a higher intelligence of life that originates from aliens. People cannot see God and therefore they do not believe in God but they can believe in aliens even though they have never seen one. Is God an alien? Maybe we are the ones who have demonized God's creation and it is we who are the alien invaders?
I sometimes think we need a new book called God is from Mars and Humans are from Venus. We want to figure God out with our heads while God wants us to experience Him in our hearts. The problem for many of us is we want to figure God out before we risk putting our faith in Him. We want to analyize and understand "the Holy Other', never mind that our minds are fallen and more unholy than holy.
Life has moments of ease and difficulty and we decide what purpose we will work and even suffer for in the end. Meaning comes from God, not centered in our certainty but in God's faithfulness as we choose to risk everything on Him.
What is it that gives your life meaning and purpose?
