David Hume, the Scottish philosopher and skeptic, used to visit Haddington Parish Church every year when he was on vacation. On one such occasion a friend remarked, “Being the skeptic that you are David, you of course don’t believe all that stuff that old preacher was saying do you?”
“Perhaps not,” replied Hume.
“Then why do you go?” the man added.
“Because he believes it,” answered Hume.
When people hear you speak the words of Christ or Christ himself or your Christian faith- when they watch you act as a follower of Christ how much passion do they find in your faith? Do you reach out in your daily living with such powerful enthusiasm you enlighten and invigorate the belief system of those around you? Does it make a difference?
It's an old saying that has been around for over one hundred years. "If there was no faith in the world there would be no living. We couldn't even eat hash"
Deuteronomy 5:33 "Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days ..."
