God Is Not A Rabbit’s Foot

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. We face an uncertain future as a nation, and the only way we can face it with confidence is through a genuine, deep-seated faith in God. But it cannot be a shallow faith. In the days of Samuel, the people of Israel treated the ark of the covenant, the symbol of God’s presence among his people, as a good luck charm. They had a superstitious belief that all they had to do was bring the ark to the field of battle and victory would be theirs. But when they tried it, they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Philistines. The only thing that will sustain us in the days ahead is a sincere, humble faith in the power of God. Treating God or the Bible or religious symbols as a rabbit’s foot won’t do it. Superficial faith won’t cut in the days ahead. Our faith must rest not in symbols or in ritual but the living God.
