Proverbs 22:24-25 “Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go, Lest you learn his ways and set a snare for your soul.”
Dear Readers:
There are many sad and depressed people out there who believe in nothing. They have faith in nothing. The trust in nothing and thus they love nothing. They are the consummate nihilists of the world. They refer to those of us whom are Christians as “Jesus freaks.” To them our faith is completely illogical and irrational. To them the world is in a perpetual state of randomness. By their logic, we randomly started from nothing. They believe that there was a vast expanse of nothing, and suddenly, an unexplained explosion occurred, giving birth to the universe. Even that belief is nothing, for it is only a theory and not a proven fact. What an awful and sad state of being. I shudder to think I once bought into such ridiculousness. I thank the Lord for revealing Himself to me. As someone who has witnessed the majesty of the Lord first-hand, I can assure you that everything started from something and that something is the God Head [or Father, Son and Holy Spirit]. Now that I have that assurance, life is sweet – even behind bars. The very knowledge that there is a purpose to all of this warms the soul. I have confidence, I have faith and I have joy; For I know my Lord is my keeper.
Nihilism is the catalyst for death. When one believes in nothing, one’s life means nothing. Existence is pointless. There is only one universal truth – Love. God is Love and Love is God. Without God’s love, life is melancholy; but with it, life is beautiful.
I am going to present to you two equations. One is nihilistic, the other existential.
(1) Nothing + Nothing = Nothing
(2) Something + Everything = GOD
As you ponder these, I want you to ask yourself two things: Which one makes sense and Who are the real freaks? Jesus said in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.“ I once was lost and I searched for the meaning of life – the point of existence. I studied scholars and philosophers, even psychology, and no matter where I turned, only Jesus made any sense. He revealed Himself to me at my darkest hour. He saved me from death and I have no doubt my Lord is real. Though I know it is not meant to be, I still hope and pray that the whole world will be set free. Stop looking for the meaning of life and start looking for the meaning in life. I leave you with this: John 8:31-32 “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
May God bless and keep you! May you believe in something that is everything – the One True Lord Jesus Christ.
Love in Christ,
Randall (a proud Jesus freak)
