i wanted to give a sermon recap like i've been doing the past few weeks, but i'm just too tired to do that right now. pastor taylor gave a fiery sermon on psalm 14, calling atheists for what they are in essence: fools. the allegory was from the story of nabal, whose name means 'fool', who completely insulted the king and his servants on a holiday, even after they had provided protection for nabal's whole business. so, as you can see, the name fits, the guy was a total idiot.
by saying in their hearts 'there is no God', the atheist does the same thing, except that instead of denying the king and his men some food, they deny the very existence of the King Himself. and this King did not just provide temporary physical protection for some servants, He provided Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of His elect and bore the wrath of God against those sins on Himself at the cross. that's a bit more of a mis-step, and considerably more foolish. yet they persist in unbelief, which comforts them. i remember it well.
today, christin and i went to church and stayed quite late for lunch. there was cake and mac & cheese casserole, and i ate a hearty amount of each. we came home and played some wow, doing some heroics and stuff with my brother and marcus to get used to the new patch and everything that everyone else already did last week. ha! then we watched the amazing race [go team jumba 4th place woooooooooooo!] and after christin went to sleep, i took my quiz and specced/pvped a bit on my warlock. like kanye west says, it's a process. goodnight.
