Video of the Day: Clip from the 2014 movie “God’s Not Dead”
Bible Verse of the Day:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us, 1 John 1:7-10.
Biblical Connection:
While college was once a platform for ideas, Atheist, Communist and Marxist professors seek to conform young minds to their secular worldview. A billionaire recently spoke out about how his daughter attending Harvard completely transformed into a leftist. While God is certainly not dead, college parents who don’t recognize their children when they come home have their doubts.
False teaching about God increased at the end of the first century. Subsequently, John who was a former disciple of Jesus seeks to set the record straight about these lies. John explains what God desires as well as what it means to walk in the light of God’s truth. Like the man who goes to visit his mother, he fails to recognize human nature and how God uses trials to strengthen faith.
Closing Song:
Syncretism is the best explanation for why many people believe that God is dead. As Christians continue to add and subtract from the Bible, Deuteronomy 4:2, blending secular beliefs with their own, outsiders are dumbfounded and turned off by this hypocrisy. Only when followers of Jesus practice the words of today’s featured passage can the world’s misunderstanding about life be straightened out.
