This should be quite the event. Perhaps it is an opportunity to reach out and begin conversations with non-Christians around you? Simply mentioning this Nighline debate may open a door for spiritual conversation. Try it out today…

I’ve marked my calendar – will you be watching the debate?

Consider the village atheists, freethinkers, and secular humanists such as Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Richard Dawkins. They openly and aggressively deny the existence of a God. “Reason,” as they call it, has caused them to arrive at a conclusion that not even the demons consider. The demons believe that God is one─and they shudder. Do you see the irony?

The truth illustrated in this verse speaks to the absurdity of atheism. Scripture speaks of the existence of a sovereign God. Creation itself testifies to the existence of a Creator. The shudders of demons declare that there is one God whom we should fear. How corrupt and sinful and vile is humanity, that it would degrade itself to the point of denying the existence the the One who gave it life?

I pray that God would soften the hearts and open the eyes of men and women such as these─that they might accept the truth before the truth is forced upon them.
