Your Open Word e-Devotional for April 17th

Published: Fri, 04/17/15

Hello ,


In a recent Rolling Stone interview, the richest man in the world, Bill Gates, 58, was asked "Do you believe in God?" Gates said that he believes science has now filled in some explanations for disease and the weather. But after admitting that science can't explain everything, Gates shared an intriguing comment about his openness to God:

The mystery and the beauty of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came about. To say that it was generated by random numbers, that does seem, you know, sort of an uncharitable view [laughs]. I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.

I find it interesting when people like Bill Gates begin to really question whether or not there is a God.  Here is a man who definitely has the opportunity to purchase anything he could possibly want (in a material sense) in this life, and yet the thought of God is still rolling around in his mind.  

We should never be afraid to share our faith with anyone (no matter how important we think they might be).  EVERYONE needs a relationship with Christ, and it is beneath NO ONE to seek Him.  Our job is to do what we can to introduce them to a Friend that will never leave their side.


Have a great day and God bless!
