Introduction

I watched a series on Netflix and a movie on Amazon a couple of years ago in which the protagonist in each was an atheist - depressed, lonely, snarky, and absolutely interesting, but desperately looking for… longing for… meaning. It was sort of sad to observe the writers’ attempts to guide their characters in their pursuit for meaning in a life without God. I had a heavy heart as I reflected on how hollow their efforts were, no matter how well put together the stories were. They each had a longing no temporal solution could ultimately fill, though they both sought an optimistic ending. One did better than the other in moving Godward. In this life there’s always hope.

What Does God Have to Do with It?

Over twenty years ago I watched a television talk show that had a discussion I remember to this day. I don’t remember which of the world’s problems was being solved, but I do remember an exchange between the host and one of the guests. The host asked, “Don’t you believe in God?” to which the guest replied, “Yes, but what does that have to do with the way I live my life?”.

Galatians 4:9 – But now that you know God–or rather are known by God–how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
