A Fool and a Liar
Illustration★★★Dr. Mackay, _of Hull, said in a meeting recently, “Once a skeptic in Dr. Bonar’s church said: ‘Sir, I do not believe there is a God.’ It was ten P.
M., and no time for argument. I cast the burden on the Lord in prayer, and looked so happy, that he said, “Are you laughing at me?’ No; but I was thinking if all the grasshoppers on earth were to say there is no sun, it would not alter the matter.
The Bible says, ‘The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.’ ‘Well, that is so,’ he said. I then showed him that God calls every man who does not believe in him a liar.
The man went home seeming much impressed; and when I met him some months afterwards he said, ‘I found out that I was a fool and a liar, and have come to Christ.’ ”
The point
A skeptic who denies God's existence is confronted with Scripture's charge that unbelief makes God a liar, and later comes to Christ.
