Blind Leaders Of The Blind

When you reject the truth you condemn yourself to endless wandering; searching and never finding answers to your problems. You begin the fruitless and unsatisfying time of wandering and thinking that you are going somewhere.  This is the problem that modern science finds itself in today. Study the natural law and natural structure of anything and you will bump into God. God is the creator and sustainer of the natural world. Math works because God designed the world to work. The universe is not a chaotic jumble of unregulated matter and energy swirling around hoping for order to emerge. It is perfect and ordered and structured so that brilliant scientists can spend their entire lives studying it.

"Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." Mat.15:14

If you are traveling and unsure what route to take, getting directions from someone who doesn't know where you are or how you got there or where to go is foolish. No matter how confident they seem or how strong their argument seems to be they are more lost than you because they think that they know where they are.

"...If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" Mat.6:23

The bible is a rich resource of truth and light. By only focusing on one thing we miss so much of the richness of God's self revelation contained in the Bible. Truth is made light through the church. We need light, not a laser beam, to guide our way through the darkness. Between three services a week and adult bible study we have ample opportunity to learn more than we currently know.

"...For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more." Luke 12:48

Pastor, turn your office into a study. Turn your office from a travel agent into a place to study and read.
