Guidelines For Living

A brilliant young Oxford don, H.A. Hodges, was an agnostic, and felt that it was not intellectually honest to profess a belief in God, since he was certain that nobody could really prove His existence.  But of course, he also acknowledged that the existence of God could not be disproven.  He just wasn't sure and decided to remain neutral.  One day, however, he strolled down Oxford's main thoroughfare and stopped before a store window.  His interest was captured by a painting, a rather simple one done by a Christian artist.  The subject:  Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.  Hodges, however, was gripped by the scene, and he said, "If God is like that then that God shall be my God!"  Conversions take place in strange ways, and that painting was part of the circumstances which resulted in his conversion to Christianity.
