Instruments of God's revelation



While I'm not sure whether this is really a re-enactment of Albert Einstein the merit of the content is solid. Too often we as Christians flee from intelligent conversations about God, evil, man, etc. with our secular counterparts. Yet this is the opposit of what we should be doing. We should encourage these conversations, and even more importantly we should be part of them. Our goal is to gently instruct the opposition (II Timothy 2:23-25) so they may come to see God's presence and Truth. Now some may call these conversations foolish quarrels but when we as His crippled torchbearers have the goal in mind work toward them seeing God then they are instruments of Truth. Ironically our so called gentle instruction is nothing more than helping people to see the obvious. We aren't revealing God because He's already there. He is always right in front of us. We have no excuse. Furthermore if your curious about who can't see Him you only need to look at the direction of people's lives. Those who suffer from confusion and no sense of direction. They suffer from these things because they have traded God the creator for His creations. (Romans 1:18-32).

So remember these conversations aren't inane, foolish, or silly they are in fact important! They are eye openers; and we must be willing to engage them so that we may be instruments of God's revelation and their awakening.
