Awaiting That Day

In chapter one of his book A Christian View of Men and Things, Gordon Clark brings up the discussion of the traditional “proofs” for God’s existence (e.g., cosmological, teleological, ontological, etc). He writes:

To one who has just begun to philosophize  and who wishes to defend theism, it might seem most natural to prove the existence of God right at the first… But are the arguments valid? Some people maintain that they are; but even if they are, the more they are studied, the harder it becomes to state them in an unobjectionable form… [If] there is a valid inference from the world to God [vis-à-vis the cosmological argument], the god so proved can be assigned only those qualities sufficient to produce the observed effects. Such an argument might prove the existence of a very powerful god, but it could not prove the existence of an omnipotent God. (

Matt Perman answers the question, Why Did Jesus Tell the Rich Young Ruler to Sell All that He Had? – What’s Best Next.

My wonderful wife has written a three-part story on her blog about just a few of the major physical and emotional difficulties she and I have had to overcome since our marriage began almost six years ago. I hope that my readers will take some time to read her story and share it however you deem appropriate. Our prayer is that God might use her writing about these issues to help other women and couples who may be going through similar struggles. Our God is faithful!

Part one:

How do you begin writing something that is so personal that the thought of others reading about it takes your breath away?
I have thought about writing our story many times. I have discussed it at length with my husband. I’ve prayed about it.
Why do I want to write about it if I am afraid? I think, sometimes, sharing your trials with others can be healing. I also want other women to know they aren’t alone; there are many variations of my story. I have heard them, now that I am looking for them.
So with a deep breath, here it goes.
Read the rest here.
