Good With God

I was listening to a sermon today and was shocked to find out some information.  The preacher said that one of the top theological schools in the country now had an atheist residing over their chaplains.  Of course, I had to Google to see if this was the case.  So many times people just toss out information and at times it is not always accurate. Upon conducting a brief Google search, I found out that it was true. Some of the references were from a few years back.  To me, it is unclear if he is still in charge of the chaplains there, but he is still one of their chaplains.  Harvard has many chaplains from different backgrounds.

Then, I also found out that this man also wrote a book called Good Without God.  You can Google yourself to find out who the author is. That is why I am adamant about people supporting Christian authors, Christian films, Christian TV Shows, and Christian anything.  We often have to jump through many hurdles to get our messages out there.  I would like to make a declaration that I am good with God and that He has made all the difference in my life.

It is so easy not to have any accountability, standards, or conscience. So many people just want to do any darn thing, but if you are a Christian you are held to some standards. Don't get me wrong.  We live in a free country and we can believe what we choose to believe.  But please stop trying to shoot down everything that Christians have to say.

Nowadays, the government wants to threaten ministries that take a stand. We need to let ministries take a stand.  We also need to put prayer back in schools.  How long will we let the assault on our young people continue?  There have been so many school shootings in the last few years that it is just sickening.  Not to mention, the assaults happening on college campuses. We have tried a little of this and a little of that. Now, it's time to try a lot of praying.

Sometimes when the list of billionaires comes out, I would Google to see who believes in God.  I was encouraged when I found out that Rihanna is actually a Christian.  I think Oprah might have said that she believes in God. Why is it that when people make so much money they want to denounce God? Could it be that they are into idol worship?  Or maybe, they just don't want to have any connection to a higher power? Who knows? I will just say that I am good with God and hope to remain good with Him.
