Friday’s Word

Atheists are under severe threat.
There is a minefield of evidence that God is real—and at any moment, the atheist may find his worldview blown to bits.

In my convalescence from my fall onto concrete (bruised but not broken), I’ve watched a lot of YouTube.
And I watched a couple of NDE accounts, which triggered the algorithm—bringing up hundreds.
My YouTube is wall-to-wall NDEs.

Many have titles like: Life-long Atheist Dies and Meets God.
And suddenly, those lifelong denials are shattered in seconds.

Their experience of God is undeniable.
The NDE is said to be more real than anything in this world.
And they don’t want to deny it.
Because the God they meet in their NDE is truly what they have looked for all their lives.

Yes, they have lived as atheists. They have not accepted Christ or held any religious beliefs.
That does not change God’s love for them.

The atheist encounters in heaven the unconditional love Jesus told us about.
It’s a love so powerful and so transforming, words cannot describe it.

Now—anyone, atheist or otherwise, who has lived an evil life may have a less pleasant experience.
But most people are not evil.
And most atheists just do not know enough to believe.
They are, simply, ignorant about reality.

Everyone will eventually believe in God.
We can resist God in this world.
But the instant we die—God is there.
Loving us.

So—
Why wait till we die to enjoy that love?

(I will return to the pulpit on July 6—in one week.)
