To believe or not to believe?

I recently saw a bumper sticker that read, "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist". I thought that made a lot of sense. Atheists believe that all of this highly complex world we are living in simply came about through sheer happenstance. That the complex and difficult to comprehend cells just magically appeared from no where. That animals and their incredible survival came about by coincidence, and that we humans evolved by mistake.

I am afraid I do not have the imagination to see how that could be.

How anyone can see the world we live in, the oceans and tides, the delicate balance of life, the seasons and cycles of Earth, and not realize that an higher mind created them is far beyond me.

Of course, atheists only want to suit themselves and their sinful lifestyles by convincing themselves and others that this life is it. It is by mistake, their is nothing afterward. They find comfort in this thought that they can do whatever they want today and never have to pay for it.

I wonder, however, how often we Christians think about the coming judgment? When we speak to someone else, do we think, "someday I am going to answer for this,"? Do we judge ourselves that we will not be judged for our deeds? Do we watch what we are doing? Do we live like we know we will be judged? We will. The Bible says that ALL men will give an account before God. Whether you believe it or not.

I find myself continually praying for judgment against some particular people who have caused me a lot of pain through their sins. But do I think about the judgment for myself?

Lord, help me to always remember your righteous judgments.
