“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good” (Psalm 14:2).

Late in 2008 eleven provocative billboards appeared in prominent locations around Colorado Springs and Denver. Each showed clouds against a dark, empty background. The question, “Do you believe in God?” was in the upper left. The lower right read, “You are not alone.”

The Colorado Coalition of Reason, whose
members identify themselves as atheists, humanists, and freethinkers, funded the billboards to build a support system for others who do not believe in God.

Psalm 14:1 describes those who discount the existence of God as corrupt and vile fools. Atheists are not actually faithless. It’s just that they’ve anchored their faith in themselves instead of in God, elevating their own ideas over Scripture. Refusing to accept the Bible’s portrayal of a personal God, they carve their own path through life, a way that leads to death
(Proverbs 14:12).

Sometimes we who know the Savior live our lives ignoring our personal God, too. I’d rather be a “living billboard” to show God’s work in my life.
