“What is God like?
Does He even exist, other than as a figment of the imagination?
Or is He real, a part of daily life and our world?
In Sermons from a Soapbox, Ladonna Shanks shares her personal spiritual journey of more than seventy-five years. “I cannot write what I have not experienced,” serves as the base of her easy-to-read, anecdotal essays. The short “sermons” challenge the reader to think, question, search, and consider living where God is . . . in the spiritual, long-term, instead of humankind’s physical, short-term.
Excerpt from the Book
Death may be due to age, tragedy, or a malady, but its inevitability for all who live cannot be avoided.
These are absolutes. They are also realities of life.
When scientists launch a space shuttle, construct an underwater tunnel, investigate wildlife in a jungle, or plan and initiate a plethora of projects ad infinitum, these and multitudinous other absolutes must be acknowledged.
Science serves as both an observer and a discoverer. Whether considering the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics), or the formal sciences (logic, mathematics, and computer science), the whole of science falls under the governance and control of all the absolutes of creation and must operate within those bounds and limitations.
The scientific world often presents itself as opposing and challenging God, placing the burden of proof upon Him to prove His very existence. However, even if that world and those in it do not believe in God as Creator, they still function because of Him. Science may reject the Creator, but it cannot ignore the absolute exactness and precision of all His creation. Absolutes govern the operation of our world and will not be spurned.
