“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; December 7, 2007

 

          You might find it odd that an avid creationist would agree with Charles Darwin; but, when he offered up the legitimacy of natural selection – a concept that would eventually be adapted into “survival of the fittest” – he was right, even spiritual.  Now, let me go on record as saying that I don’t believe in his concept of evolution; but, I do agree that there will be an environment where the strongest will survive; but, this one won’t be on some South American island, it will be in heaven.

          After describing the lifestyle of the unrighteous Jesus noted, “… these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:46)  In essence, Jesus assures us that those fit to survive, those who were willing to serve Him, will endure to the end.  Simply put, those who are spiritually fit enough overcame the trials of temptations and adapt to righteousness will naturally be selected as the eternal species who evolve into the blessed who will live eternally in heaven.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
