What If It Turns Out That There Is No God?

Mrs. Pianoman and I were talking the other day about, “What if it turns out that there is no God?”.

We agreed that it wouldn’t really matter!

We have been blessed (or lucky!) in our lives. Our belief in God has given us a purpose for our life. A purpose that is bigger than just us. If nothing else, the Bible has given us great philosophical advice which we have patterned our life after. It’s been like an instruction manual for us.

Believing in God has given us a life-long hope. It gives us a way to cope with tragedy, suffering and death.

Believing in God has given us an unwavering opinion of right and wrong, good and evil. This has brought stability to our lives.

The bottom line is that at worse, our lives are better off and we are more balanced emotionally because of our faith in God.

But………because we believe in God, I believe we also have a great reward of forever being in God’s presence, and one day we will be walking on streets of gold. This is our great hope!

if there is no God - I missed out on a lot of...well never mind
There is a God and Jesus is His name. My life has been better believing in him and lining up with the principles he teaches/stands for.

I need the crutch and He is enough for me.

Blessings, Rhoni

I've always had these doubts and then I'm reminded of the time I received the holy ghost and began to speak in other tongues supernaturally. Like a river flowing from my belly. It was my tongue and my voice but the words were from the river. What can explain that, but God?
