Even the most devout Christians wrestle with doubt sometimes: Am I really following God’s truth or should I look into other religions? What’s funny is that many Christians venture away only to come around full circle back to Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today as I was coming home with a taxi, a conversation with the driver reinforced the truth of the Bible. The taxi driver told me a story of how one of his friends was murdered decades ago. I started to pry: why? how? He said the youth was riddled with bullet when he was around 22 years old but he couldn’t understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that point, I started to share my idea of the sanctify of human life. Since a human life cannot be brought back by man, humans should try their best not to kill, especially not in cold blood, because it might very well be a very difficult sin to forgive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The taxi driver agreed with me. But then he shared an aspect of his life that reinforced biblical truth. He said that he grew up in a bad neighborhood amongst people who murdered to get up in life. At a young age, these men flourished, but they all died untimely deaths – at the average age of 25, and when he returned from a job stint in the USA, they were all dead and buried – leaving their children fatherless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that point, I remembered David’s words in the Book of Psalms, “I have seen the wicked arising, and spreading himself like a green bay tree; but I returned and could not find him. I sought him, but he not.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I shared this bible verse with the taxi driver and he was amazed that he was describing a biblical scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, good people sometimes die young too, but the general biblical truth holds up. This casual conservation with a taxi driver spoke to me. It highlighted once again the truth and power of the Word of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
