The Goddess Of Reason

A philosophy which had no need for God;

A philosophy which says everything can be explained by logic.

Thus they went about to establish The Goddess of Reason as their deity..

Reason was enthroned. It was seen as the answer to all men’s questions and problems. Of course this experiment failed miserably. In its wake it left a trail of immorality and licentious behaviour that would cause the men of Sodom and Gomorrah to quake. Men’s reasoning will continue to fail as long as they ignore the Word of God and seek for solutions in the annals of their own carnal minds. The greatest feats were not accomplished by the reasoning of carnal minds but by minds imbued with the spirit of God.

Who would have reasoned that the sound of trumpets and shouts would bring down a city wall?

Who would have reasoned that Gideon and three hundred men would rout a whole army?

Who would have reasoned that a man would go into a lions den and come out alive?

Who would have reasoned that three men entering a fiery furnace would live to tell the tale?

Who would have reasoned that the red sea would part and allow a whole nation to pass through on dry ground?

Who would have reasoned that over 1 millions souls would pass over an overflowing Jordan?

Who would have reasoned that the blind would see, the deaf would hear, the dumb would speak and the lame would walk by just a word or touch?

That five loaves and two fish would feed over five thousand people?

Who would have reasoned that Lazarus after spending three days in the grave would live again?

Tell me who can give a rationale to explain these events. They are all grounded in faith.

Tell me, can reason explain the great getting-up morning when this mortal shall put on immortality and this corruptible shall become incorruptible?

Can you by reasoning tell how those faithful who, over the centuries have been stoned,

Sawn asunder,

Slain with the sword,

Fed to lions and

Burnt at the stake;

Can you by reasoning tell how they will be raised to eternal life with Jesus Christ? Oh the joy that will be on the faces of the faithful as they declare O death where is your sting? O grave where is your victory? My friends in the realm of the spiritual, reason has lost its way! Only faith can take you there!

Have faith dear friend in God. [Believe in the impossible. That is where God lives.]
