Weekend Rewind

Sunday we started a series titled, "The Remnant." We are going to look at the Biblical principal of The Remnant for several weeks. The concept is that God will not allow the knowledge of himself to be erased from humanity. Nietzsche said, "God is dead." Societal evolution says that religion is a set of evolved ideas, this assumes that those ideas could go extinct! Some atheists think that we can de-evolve the concept of God, even going so far as to insinuate that there is some biological defect in the brain that causes people to have a perceived need for god and perceive religious experiences. What if those assumptions are wrong? What if God is real and we are misinformed? What if science is examining evidence trough the wrong set of presuppositions?


The Biblical principal of the remnant reassures us that the truth of God, the truth about God, will never disappear from the earth. There are dead religions. We know from history these were once practiced and now are only elements of past cultures. The promise of the Scripture is that God will not allow that to happen to the truth about him. At least once in history the truth of God hung by the single thread of one human heart. God not only saved Noah's family in the ark, God saved the truth about himself in the heart and mind of the man in the boat.


The principal of God preserving a remnant for himself is needed today! Biblical Christianity is demeaned by many as the myths of the uneducated and brainwashed. In the future the truths of Christianity will become more and more counter cultural. In the face of the attacks on your faith you need to remember that God is going to preserve a remnant for himself. God will preserve the remnant and he will enable them to pass his truth on to the next generation.


The question is not, "Will the Church survive?" The question is will you work with God and be the remnant? If you do not, God will use someone who will.
