strangely quiet and deliberate.
I asked if he would like to get cleaned up, get a job, and have a roof over his head. I would pay for everything. Think of it—clean clothes, a job, and a warm room in a hotel. Robert went very quiet for a long time. I repeated my offer. He mumbled, “I’m thinking…” A moment later, he shook his head.
It turned out that he didn’t mind his filth. He got a pension from the government and he got his clothes from a Goodwill store (many years ago, by the look and smell of them). I then shared the Gospel with him and left him on the sidewalk.
I was so disappointed. How sad that a human being chose to live like that, sitting in his own filth. He was so used it. I guess it seemed to be right and normal for him to do so.
The unbeliever is the same as Robert. He is like the Prodigal Son (see Luke 15:11-32) as he sits in the filth of his sins thinking that his unclean desires are normal and right. Yet through the Gospel God offers to wash him clean of his sins, give him a purpose in existence, and put an eternal roof over his head. Yet he chooses death over life, darkness over light, Hell over Heaven, all because he loves his sin and hates righteousness. What an unspeakable tragedy.

A professing atheist can’t be sure of anything. He doesn’t know that there is no God. He doesn’t know if Hell is a reality. If youare an atheist, all you have is your beliefs (faith) that God and Hell don’t exist. You have faith in what you believe. You can’t be sure that the sky is blue (it’s not—it has no color) or that the sun rises (it doesn’t—the earth turns). You don’t know for certain that the blue or the red that you see is actually the same color that others see. You don’t know if evolution is true or even if a rock is “hard,” because you have no concrete definition of what “hard” is other than what a dictionary tells you and what you have come to believe from the beliefs of others. For all you know, you might be insane and have twisted perceptions of what others see as reality. That’s why knowing God is such a wonderful thing. It’s because He knows the thoughts of everyone that has ever existed, and He is ever-present on every planet to determine if there are or are not green leprechauns.
The Scriptures give us insight into the mind of God. Through them we can know absolute truth. We can know reality. We have what the Bible calls “an anchor for the soul.” He is the rock of sanity. Without the solid foundation of the Word of God you will be blown about by the winds of an ever-changing secular philosophy.
The truth is that the Christian is like a doctor working with a patient who has psychological problems. The doctor has been well trained to recognize that his patient suffers from delusional paranoia (thinking that the good doctor wants to harm him).
You may think that I am too strong with my words, but it’s not me that calls the professing atheist a “fool.” It is God’s Word —”The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1). It’s not me that says that he is prideful; it’s the Word of God. It says that it is the pride of his face that is stopping him from seeking God. It even reveals that it’s not that he cannot find Him, but that he
will
not (see Psalm 10:4). In other words it’s a matter of our will—we don’t want God.
Who would have believed that any human being would ever have to try and prove to any other human being that we were created? It is evidence that we live in a world of insanity where it has become commonplace for fathers to murder their children, husbands to beat their wives, kids to kill kids at school. It is an insane world where people breathe in carcinogens in the form of a cigarette and feel cool, where it’s normal and good to poison yourself through alcoholic intoxication, where lying and stealing are acceptable behavior.
