Famous atheist Christopher Hitchens passed away yesterday. He was the author of "God is Not Great," and he had a huge following. I am not saying this to gloat about his passing, but to remind us that there are many people who have a really big investment in there being no God. While many people are simply ambivalent on their way to Hell, these folk deny its very existence loudly and write books about it. Indeed, he speaks for what appears to be a growing group of noisy anti-theists who mock God if only to get my goat.
For those of us who still believe, we must pray for them to be loosed from this blindness and stubbornness. It is not the argument that will win them over, but a visitation of the Spirit of God.
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1 Corinthians 1:21My prayer is that their hearts will be softened and that they will not go the way of their teacher. Ours is a spiritual battle, and we will not win it with words alone.
About 1 second after his death, he was wishing he was wrong...
ReplyDeleteThat makes no sense! If he was right, he wouldn't be wishing anything. He believes in God now. It is just too late to do anything about it. It is sad when a sinner dies, because now they will burn and suffer forever! Those of us still alive, need to make the right choice. Surrender, Repent, and Follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
