The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus, His Holy Word and teachings with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle.

That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

Many just try to find happiness even in the wrong places. There is such an ‘emptiness’ epidemic in our world today. Some fill themselves up with ‘things’ – be a gym junkie, shop till you drop, drink to get drunk, watch television all day. Sometimes, we do need distractions to help us cope. There is nothing wrong with being fit, wearing nice clothes, drinking a good wine and watching a good show.

The problem seems to be that we don’t know when enough is enough! These can even take so much priority as to become another false god in our life. At some stage, we do need to face our issues and not just escape reality and fill ourselves with things. If we could only give God a chance first! Allow Him to fill the emptiness. Let us turn to our loving God, surrender our problems and allow God to give us the peace we need.

What do I need to surrender to God today? They ate the loaves and were filled.
