Act With The Best Light We Have

Launch out into the deep—Luke 5:4

Many difficulties and perplexities in connection with our Christian lives might best be settled by a simple and bold decision of our will to go forward with the light we have, leaving the speculations and theories that we cannot decide for further settlement. What we need is to act, and to act with the best light we have. As we step out into the present duty and full obedience, many things will be made plain which it is no use waiting to decide.

Launch out into the deep with a bold plunge, and Christ will settle for you all the questions that you are now debating. More probably, He will show you their insignificance and let you see that the only way to settle them is to leap over them. They are Satan’s petty snares to waste your time and keep you halting when you should be marching on.

In the three volume set he also developed Newton’s laws of motion and stated Newton’s laws of gravitation. Besides inventing the first practical reflecting telescope, he advanced other theories that became foundational to modern physics, calculus, and science in general — most of which I can’t even begin to understand, much less communicate.

He is acknowledged as one of the most brilliant men of all time. Yet most people don’t know that Sir Isaac Newton was highly religious and a bit of a theologian. He actually wrote more on Bible hermeneutics than on science and mathematics. That’s why something he wrote more than 300 years ago is especially important today.
