Christians and Reincarnation

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:1

There is nothing quite like Autumn, is there? The colors of the leaves are vivid and magnificent. Driving down the road seeing the reds, yellows, oranges, and brilliance of the season should remind us of God’s amazing creation. Doesn’t the season take your breath away? Autumn isn’t the only display of God’s creativity in nature. From the lush green valleys, to snow topped mountains, to turquoise oceans and gorgeous sunsets, his workmanship is seen. Even a powerful thunderstorm, despite the devastation, points to His majesty.

How could anyone live through autumn or look at nature and not believe there’s a God?

Wait, it isn’t about believing in God. Almost everyone believes in God (Read James 2:19). So, if almost everyone believes in God, what’s the difference between Christ followers and others who may only believe in God?

The tragedy is that in our American culture we have failed to pass our foundational beliefs to the next generation. We are now in a situation in which those who call themselves Christians have almost no distinguishable worldview than those who are not Christians.

Recent surveys taken of Christian young people show the following:

1. 23% of Christian young people do not believe in miracles.

2. 33% do or may believe in reincarnation.

3. 48% believe that many religions are true and point to God.

Are you kidding? Nearly half of Christian young people believe there is more than one way! Jesus said He was the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him!
