Fingerprints of God
The forensic science of fingerprinting in criminal investigations is barely 100 years old. As we know, fingerprints are as unique as snowflakes. No two are alike. Fingerprints harvested from crime scenes lead to more suspects and generate more evidence in court than all other forensic techniques combined.
Today we are investigating the forensic evidence of God’s fingerprints. Do the prints we leave behind match the classification and the finer points of comparison of God’s? Or are we hoping to wipe the crime scene clean of all evidence that we were there?
God has revealed himself in and through Jesus, the scriptures, and creation. But how is he revealing himself in and through us—his church? Are we leaving behind God’s fingerprints—evidence that God was here?
- How are we being “Out-Jesus-ed” by people who don’t know him?
- Who is your Samaritan? Your Jew?
- How will we: “Go and love that person who is most unlike us?”

Some people have a disconnect with the fact that graduation exercises are called a “Commencement.” We have a tendency think of graduation as an ending rather than what it is. It is a beginning. It is the start of a new story.
It is said that thoughts turn into beliefs; beliefs become actions; actions form habits; habits shape character; and character defines destiny.
