People are without excuse ...


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.
-Romans 1:19-20 NLT


Salvation has never been an issue of the head. As Paul writes here, the world around us testifies to a Designer. Refusing to acknowledge this Designer of the universe is not scientific at all. Who can really look at the amazing and logical nature of the world around us and think that it all happened by accident? It is no more logical to do so than to credit the invention of the light bulb to random happenstance. One would have to have a biased agenda to do so.

In light of that, one has to wonder why so many deny the existence of a Designer. Paul says here that it is a matter of unrighteousness. From the beginning this has been so. In Eden our ancestral parents exchanged the truth for a lie. Since that time the lie grows. The lie tells people that there is no meaning to life. Everything is random. There is no Designer. No God to give an account to. It is an issue of the heart and people are without excuse.

Lord, we plead for those who are caught up in the mental gymnastics of atheism and agnosticism. BRING THEM HOME.
