ABSURD - Jan. 19th, 2008

Christianity to the natural mind seems absurd. It goes against the mental grain of our temporal thinking capacity. We have to understand that... to understand. Some things you'll just never understand until you understand! Christianity just doesn't make sense... However, that's where faith comes in. In fact, Albert Einstein said, "Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible." Even Einstein wasn't afraid to press the envelope of our limited capacity to understand. Even in my lifetime, some of todays technologies would have been labeled "ABSURD" in my early years. Evidently there were many who are not afraid to "attempt the absurd".
As pioneers of our future, we need to understand that if all we listen to is the absurdity side of life, we'll never achieve the impossible.
There are still undiscovered territories.
There are still undiscovered technologies.
There are still uncharted waters.
There are still untapped resources.
Columbus had his naysayers. I'm sure, if the word absurd were around in his day, he heard it often.
Of course we know...at least we should know, that "with God, all things are possible".
It's absurd to think we can walk on water..Peter did.
It's absurd to think we can raise the dead...Jesus did.
It's absurd to think we can heal the sick...Paul did.
True achievement always requires the pressing of our absurdity envelope.
True progress always requires someone to endeavor to achieve the impossible.
Stay away from those who always use the "A" word.
