We can't help but admire our
daredevils even though we feel they are foolish for doing whatever they do.
Some are professionals and do
what they do for a living like the Flying Wallenda's who as a family have been
tight rope walking for four hundred years.
There was a time when going
over Niagara Falls
Wing walking at air shows
were designed to test the nerve of the participants and awe the watchers on the
ground.
These were all for
entertainment purposes but there are many more venues for the daredevil to
perform in and this goes back to before time as we know it.
The rebellion of one of the
angels in God's domain was an act of the original daredevils; risking all for
the personal purpose of glory.
This peculiar trait has come
down through the ages and is alive and well today. It entails the declaration
of disbelief in Almighty God by deeds and words.
Many of our founding fathers
did not personally believe in God while they functioned on this earth though I
suspect they have changed their mind at present.
Like the story of the rich
man in hell who wanted to warn those who are still alive to avoid making the
same mistakes he did. There are those who died shouting their unbelief that
have changed the tenor of their message after their demise.
One must admire their courage
for they are risking their eternity by hoping there is no God who hasn't left
His message to them. They do not see the need for a backup plan and say so
openly.
Unbelief is manifested in more than one way. Some manifest it by what they say and others by what they do.
There are times when a vender
will try to substitute an item other than what they advertised usually saying this
is as good or better, the old bait and switch trick.
When men try to substitute an
intellectual exercise they term reasoning for a relationship with the almighty
creator they demote themselves to the state that the scripture calls a fool.
I call them the greatest
daredevils of all for they risk their eternal soul on there being no God for
when they find out they are wrong they will spend all eternity asking
themselves how they could have been so mistaken.
They should have listened to
the scripture that admonished man to, "Come and let us reason together
saith the Lord," instead of the aggrandizement of the intellect among their
peers. No matter how one may stifle the fear of the grave, fear still prevails.
"Death hath no terrors
for the blood bought one, O glory hallelujah to the Lamb! The boasted vict’ry
of the grave is gone, O glory hallelujah to the Lamb! So says the song by
Charles P. Jones
