A Faithless Faith

They exchanged the truth of God for s lie, and worship and serve created thing rather than the Creator, who is forever praised.
ROMANS 1:25

A COUNSELOR at a church summer camp pointed out to Ford Vox, then 14, that the lyrics of many of the songs he listened to were filled with sexual innuendo and immoral messages. Vox was offended and said, "Why should the church tell me what to do?"
    Vox abandoned church and began to drift spiritually, intensifying his isolation loneliness. A back injury further heightened his sense of estrangement. He then began swapping e-mail message with others who felt as he did. That's when he decided to establish a "faithless faith"--a religious expression that asks for nothing, demands nothing, and gives the same.
    Universalism or faithless faith misses the whole point of the Bible--man could not find God so He sent His Son who revealed the Father, who showed us how to have eternal life and find the way back to heaven. It dismisses the central person of the entire Bible--God's only Son, Jesus Christ. It completely ignores what He did, what He taught, and for what He died.
   If you think that the Bible is unreliable and just another book, then close the cover. Try to find a way out of the human dilemma as Ford Vox HSS done. Yet when you lie dying, peering into the dark unknown with no light to guide you, it's a pretty dismal future.
    Embracing a faithless faith is more than dangerous; it I'd destined to be fatal, with no hope. It's a strange world that makes darkness attractive and light dangerous. But you don't have to embrace a faithless faith to do that; simply ignore the truth, trivialize it, or push it aside, and you have done the same thing. Hold on to the real thing. Hold on to the real Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
