How to be an Idiot: Pursue Practical Atheism

How to be an Idiot

An excellent apologetics message addressing two aspects of atheism ? psychological and practical. "The fool has said in his heart there is no God" (Psalm 14:1). For the practical atheist, to not believe in God is not a function of knowledge, but a function of will. In Romans 3:9-18, however, Paul states that of Jews, Greeks and heathens, none are righteous, all are sinners, and none seek after God. Man needs a Savior - Jesus Christ.

About 'How to be an Idiot'

The ancient Greeks had a word for it - "idios" - someone consumed with his own interests and opinions. It's the origin of the English word "idiot," someone we regard today as lacking wisdom or good judgment. And, interestingly enough, the Bible has a lot to say about idiots, either painting vivid portraits of individuals relying on their own reasoning or laying out specific warnings about the danger of pursuing our own instincts and desires when they run contrary to Gods Word. In this 12-part series Todd Wagner helps us recognize our innate tendencies to reject wisdom and provides practical insight for living blessed, purposeful lives.
