But what comes to my mind is the Christian gospel song by Johnny Cash, which is simply and aptly titled, "My God is Real." For millions of people He is real, and despite the false ideas, prideful assertions, cynicism, and reaches of psychology, philosophy, and psycho-babble, we withdraw from it all and say our prayers, sing our hymns of praise, and experience the same love and reverence as those of His followers who came before us. The mark of a true disciple of Jesus is being consistently on guard in our minds and hearts against the wickednesd and unbelief characteristic of this fallen world. We endure because He will guide us, and we have an enduring relationship with our Heavenly Father which will stand with us now and when we are laid in our graves.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-22101942064047709532016-10-21T06:50:08.445-05:002016-10-21T06:50:08.445-05:00Atheism is a strange thing.
