Atheist Tuesday: Good Samaritan Evangelism

I was encouraged to read this from the weekly Living Waters Newsletter (sign up here); I hope you will be as well:

A few years ago, we told you that an atheist was having financial troubles, and many of you kindly sent him gifts. This week he wrote to Mark Spence and said:

“Dear Mark …. about three years ago we talked on the phone. Even though I insulted and berated you, you proved that you were the real deal and a true follower of Christ by loving your enemy and blessing him. You responded with kindness even though I insulted you viciously. In addition you even helped me financially as well as some of the followers of Way of the Master. You guys really saved me from a disaster because I had no income and if I didn’t get those MRIs and other medical tests, I never would have gotten the social security disability income on which I now survive. I just wanted to say I will never forget you, Ray and the other Way of the Master followers. I want to thank you very much again.”

I followed up with Mark and asked if there was any other information he could provide to round out the story. This is what he said:

Atheist Tuesday: A Special Message from Charles Spurgeon

As I was reading my devotional, “Morning and Evening,” by Charles Spurgeon on New Year’s Eve before bedtime, I couldn’t help thinking that these words, written 150 years ago, are still applicable to the unbelieving mind.

Please read and take heed in this New Year.

“The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” – Jeremiah 8:20

Not saved! Dear reader, is this your mournful plight? Warned of the judgment to come, bidden to escape for your life, and yet at this moment not saved! You know the way of salvation, you read it in the Bible, you hear it from the pulpit, it is explained to you by friends, and yet you neglect it, and therefore you are not saved. You will be without excuse when the Lord shall judge the quick and dead.

Atheist Tuesday: Jeffery Dahmer, Ex-Atheist

Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious mass murderer who killed seventeen young men, ate them, and stored various body parts in his refrigerator. The police ended up finding eleven corpses in his apartment. Here’s an excerpt from Phillip Yancey’s excellent book, “What’s So Amazing About Grace”: One network showed a television program taped a few weeks

Atheist Tuesday: How Darwin Stole Christmas

Here’s a slightly provocative article I found by a woman named Sharon Sebastian, who runs a website called DarwinsRacists.com and has just written her second book called Darwin’s Racists – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, which highlights Social Darwinism’s impact on America’s political ideology today and its influence on current policy out of Washington.

The assault on Christmas began in 1859 when figgy puddings were the rage. As 19^th century families celebrated the birth of their Savior, a movement began to remove Christ from Christmas. It took root from the meandering suppositions of a man who, like his father and his grandfather, denounced Christianity. Seeking approval, the man proffered up a theory he believed would also win him favor with his agnostic, atheist and elitists friends. In defiance of God as Creator and armed with the new “theory,” those elitists looked down their noses at the reverent masses and their belief in a higher power.  The man was Charles Darwin. His theory, simplistic and unproven, was the theory of evolution.

Based on mid-1800 rudimentary science, devoid of empirical scientific data to support it, Darwin’s theory became the means to an end to replace God as both Creator and Sovereign over humankind and the universe.

Atheist/Evolutionist Holiday Cards

This will be a seasonal re-post tradition….

If I had no hope of an afterlife, and if I thought I was here by sheer chance (or something like that), and if there was no real purpose in life, I’d send one of these!

If I thought that I was put here on a pale blue planet for no other reason than to make a debilitating carbon footprint and to eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow I die, then I would send one of these.

And if I didn’t believe in God,  didn’t think I was culpable to a Being greater than I, had no fear of recompense for my moral failures and sin…

… if I was able to ignore my conscience…

…and if I could overlook all the obvious evidences of our incredible, beautiful, wondrous universe that clearly shows that everything was designed, and then pronounce that there is no Designer…

…and if I truly could discount all those crazies warning me to repent because my time was short…

…then, and only then, would I send one of these cards to my temporal acquaintances who are simply living meaningless, purposeless lives.
