"Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, 'Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad.' But he said, 'I am not made, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason.' "
Acts 26:24-25
Many people think Christians are nuts – their pancakes not quite done. If not crazy, they view them as unthinking, uneducated, or low I.Q. to believe that Jesus rose from the dead (vs. 23). But in reality, Christianity is the most reasonable of all worldviews because it answers the great questions of life – "Where did I come from"; "Why am I here"; and "Where am I going." And not only the rational understanding of purpose of life, but such other questions as the issues of evil and pain and suffering. It seems to me that to not believe is an indication of poor and irrational thinking. Christianity is indeed a faith of reason and truth that matches reality.
Today's Thought: Faith in Christ is rational and reasonable because it is truth.
