Reason

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

–       Thomas Paine

Based on personal experience, I know Tom sure had that right.  Unreasonable people seem to be more common in our present age. Does the Bible address the need for reason? Glad you asked.

Isaiah 1:18 

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

James 3:17 

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

Let’s be reasonable because God requires it from us. Give it some thought.
