SKEPTIC

I’ll admit it; sometimes I read the tabloid headlines while waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store.

Michelle Obama adopts orphaned alien from outer space? Man gives birth to 100lb baby? Elvis spotted having lunch with Marilyn Monroe?
 
Really!?!? Yeah, right!

What if you read a tabloid headline that some seemingly normal man is actually the incarnate son of God? Even better yet, that this man-god was crucified and rose from death three days later, offering us eternal life with him if we just have faith?

To say the least, you may be skeptical. And honestly, if you told your friends and family you believed this kind of tabloid story, they’d probably be concerned for your mental health.

But take this tabloid headline and call it scripture, and somehow it’s easy to believe?
Hardly. God understands this, and He wants to give you what you need to take your doubts to a place of discovery, then belief.

What is God doing in your life to make the Living Word truly alive? Take some time today to ask yourself this question.

God is obvious, despite the fact that we are oblivious. Let's address our doubts; we have a Heavenly Father that seeks to see our skepticism transform into faith.
