It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.” (C.S. Lewis)

Men’s Knowledge “One day he (Einstein) was interacting with some of his brighter students about God and whether or not he exists.

Einstein then asked them this provocative question: “What percentage of the total knowledge of the universe do you suppose we now possess?”

They gave him various estimates averaging around 2%.

The old physicist replied, “I think your guesses are high, but I will accept the figure of 2%. Now tell me, what are the chances that God exists in the other 98%?”

Matthew 13:44-46 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Heb. 12:1-3)
