Faith + Reason = Truth

You will find yourself believing something - no, KNOWING something, to be the truth.  You will be certain.  Then, in a flash, you will experience your "reality" suddenly crumble into a pile of rubble.  You will think, "how could this have happened?  This was virtually impossible.  It was never supposed to be this way."  9/11 was this type of experience for many of us, just 7 short years ago.  The world financial crisis is that type of event for many more of us right now.
The World Trade Center, literally turned to a pile of rubble - both towers at once?  By a few guys, with box cutters?  Are you KIDDING me?  The entire world's banking and financial system, brought to its knees by people who couldn't pay their mortgages?  LIFETIME'S worth of savings and investments wiped out over several months?  That can't happen!
Yes, it can.  It does.  It's always been this way.  It always will be.  For anyone who cares to discover for themselves, throughout recorded history, these types of events and calamities have caught humanity offguard.  Things we know, or more accurately, believe, are our among our greatest accomplishments, but they can also present the greatest threats and challenges.  These are not ultimate truths, but rather are the fruits of our own human striving.  The ultimate truths, which actually can be known and not merely believed, are revealed by God through the experience of his walk among us and interaction with us as Jesus of Nazareth 2,000 years ago.
Just wanted to remind you, as I occasionally do, that as smart as we think we are (and I am the first to admit that we HAVE come up with some pretty cool stuff throughout our existence on this planet!), we must still look to God for the answers to the questions that really matter.  As we have proven time and time again, we're just not quite as brilliant or omniscient as we think we are, and the fact that something has not yet occurred does not preclude it from happening at some point in the future.
