See then that ye walk circumspectly

Welcome to Circumspectful Physics, the blog of an evangelical christian physics major. This blog is driven by two ideas. The first idea is that God has revealed Himself in the physical and spiritual world that He created, and there is no higher pursuit than knowing God. Few people recognize it, but this is the proper end of physics. The original physicists were called "natural philosophers", or lovers of wisdom about nature. If nature itself ultimately points to God, then physics points to God as well. This is a blog that centers around who God is and how we can know Him.

The second idea is, as J I Packer discusses in his book Knowing God, having knowledge about God is very different from knowing God. Knowing God entails not only knowing about the twists and turns of the path of walking the christian life, but also the actual walking of the path. It is atrocious and hypocritical to simply have a theoretical knowledge about God without applying the knowledge to our lives. That is why Paul says in Ephesians, "Wherefore he saith, 'Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.' See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."

Shalom,

Patrick
