Army barracks for a young boy who was barely 15 was a very scary place, lots of adults running around and shouting. Crossing the parade square one night to get to the NAAFI encouraged a bellowing voice from the Sergeant Major that could be heard for miles.

"You boy, come here!" he shouted "what the dickens dya think your doin', theres only two people allowed to cross this parade ground, ones me, and the other's God, and the only reason I can't catch Him is cos I can't see Him!"

Silly man, for him to catch God he would not only have to see Him, but physically touch Him as well, this is something we know we can't do, but without faith we need to see and touch an object to make it believable, and this is true of many things, if you can't see and touch it how then can you believe what it is?

So why do we believe in a God we can't see or touch? One answer to this would be:

Because people everywhere in the world are born with some idea of right and wrong, there exists in every human a law or rule of fair play or morality. If we were to believe that we are a product of evolution, then through survival of the fittest or dog-eat-dog scenario we would all be capable of doing the most heinous of crimes, admittedly, there are those born of the human race that maim and kill and do unspeakable things, these are the ones touched by Satan, but far the rest of us, we don't, moral law exists within us, this is not a development through evolution, this is a programming by something far greater than us, this is a righteous gift that could only have come from God.

And for those of us that believe, we don't need to see and touch God, to know that He IS, because God once took the initiative to reveal himself to us. He has lived amongst us. He has made full invasion into human history - in the person of Jesus Christ.

Open the eyes of your heart, see what God has done, believe in Jesus and know the truth. Jesus said:

"I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me" _{John 4:16}

I wonder where the Sergeant Major is now?
I know where that 15 year old boy is,

He's right here, writing this.
