Stirred By The Scriptures

In a recent issue of the magazine Christianity Today, they pronounced on the cover God Is Not Dead Yet.  It was a take-off on a Time magazine cover in 1966 entitled Is God Dead?  I remember that cover and the God is dead movement of the sixties. I remember as a thirteen year old the anxiety I felt. What would it do to people’s faith?  Could they prove something new or would folks just stop believing in God?  Well 42 years later God is alive and well and men and women are still trusting him with their lives - me included.  When Paul is in Athens debating with a group of philosophers he tells them that God placed people in certain times and locations for this purpose, “so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is never far from each one of us.” God was there in the 1st century, he was there in 1966, he is here today and he will be forever.
