Psalm 53:1 says this:
1 The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt and evil are they, and doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
Do YOU know someone who claims they don't believe in God? We looked at this earlier on the blog, but I want to post it again. Romans 1:20-23:
20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], [Psalms 19:1-4.] 21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]. 23 And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles.

Notice that God has made His presence "intelligible and clearly discernible" through His creation! There is no REAL denying of the God of the Bible! They KNOW! They may, for whatever dumb reason, not want to acknowledge Him, but they still know! AMEN! THAT is why it makes one an "empty-headed fool" for denying Him! We see the same idiotic response to Jesus in Mark 3! The Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to try to catch Him healing on the Sabbath so they could bring charges against Him. Here are these religious leaders, who SHOULD have known their Messiah when He appeared, who saw miracles of health and healing and deliverance that they had NOT seen in their lifetime! Wouldn't you think that they would WANT to see God's goodness displayed? Apparently NOT! Look at verse 6:
6 Then the Pharisees went out and immediately held a consultation with the Herodians against Him, how they might [devise some means to] put Him to death.
SERIOUSLY! They witnessed things that were promised in the Word of God, but refused to acknowledge that HE was the Reason! Our goal for own personal lives should be to continue to show forth HIS Word and works so those who WILL want to know YOUR God, CAN know Him! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "I Believe":
Shalom in Him!
