I recently started watching The Big Bang Theory and fell in LOVE with it. Well not really but it is really funny and really good. With that being said, one of the characters in this show is named Sheldon. Sheldon is a very interesting character. He is a theoretical physicist and only believes in proven facts. Anyways, the funny thing is Sheldon's mom is a bible thumping Christian (said in the nicest possible way) and calls her crazy because she believes in a supreme being without any proof. To him, everything needs to be proven in order to exist. If there is no proof then how can it be possible for a higher being to exist.
It's the same with our society these days. They need scientific proof to believe in a higher power like God.As a christian it is our responsibility to build relationship with people so that our lives can be proof of God's existence. And also, the best way for us to prove God's existence is by sharing out story. To be open about the work God has done in our lives. Our testimony is our biggest strength because no one can take away our personal experience with Christ. We just need to be open to meet people where they are at. Maybe they will be open to hear what we hafto say and be open to accepting Jesus as their Saviour.
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Bing Bang Theory as well. Its very comical to see Sheldon react to his mom's faith. The reality is though that along with the experience of Jesus we have in our lives is the eyewitness experience of the first disciples - they saw what happened and tried to make sense of it. They believed because they saw - that sounds pretty scientific to me!
