Marilyn vos Savant, the brilliant woman who reportedly has the highest I.Q. ever recorded, writes a syndicated column in which she answers tricky questions from people who want the benefit of her intelligence. Someone wrote to ask what she thought is the most powerful idea. Marilyn vos Savant replied that "truth" was the most powerful idea she knew of, because it is not affected by how we relate to it. Whether or not we know it, or whether or not we agree with it, doesn't matter, because truth is still true.
Ms. vos Savant is right on target. Truth is powerful. You and I believe that truth is from God.
What is the Good News of the Gospel anyway? I believe it can be summed up in three verses: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1); "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16), and "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself" (Luke 10:27).
You and I may believe this thing and that about Scripture and about life in general, but these three statements are incontrovertible! They are true.
They don't need to be defended; they only need to be lived. There are people in our society who spend too much of their energy and time defending God as if God needed it.
Note: Marilyn vos Savant still has the recorded highest IQ according to Guinness because they have since retired the category
