A Sick "god"

Sathya Sai Baba

Eighty five year-old Satya Sai Baba is believed by many to be the incarnation of a Hindu god. Headlines today read "Indian 'living god' in critical condition". The headline is both a knee slapper and a tragedy. How comic that a so-called god is sick and how tragic that men settle for sick gods.

Paul revealed this tragic reality in Romans 1:21-23

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
