Hello ,

"I don't believe in God, but I miss him."

This is the opening line from a book titled Nothing to Be Afraid Of by the award-winning British writer, Julian Barnes. Barnes, who describes himself as an agnostic, writes, "I was never baptized, never sent to Sunday school. I have never been to a normal church service in my life." And yet this agnostic intellectual still feels haunted by the beauty of Christian art and music and by what he calls the "wake up call to morality."*

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men."  Titus 2:11

I am of the opinion that every person that you and I meet has a God-shaped void that only can be filled by the one true God.  On rare occasions, you and I may encounter someone who has allowed God to be their Redeemer and friend, but most often we come in contact with those who are vainly attempting to fill that divine void that they feel...with something else.

​

How important is it, that people see someone who IS in a relationship with the one true God?  Only eternity can tell us.

Have a great day and God bless!

Pastor Mike / The Open Word
