One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. – Psalm 27: 4

How about a shout out to the NWLG community! These are the Nerds Who Love God. They may be too uncoordinated to praise God with a dance. They may be too tone deaf to melodiously sing the songs of Zion. They may be too self-conscious to lift up their hands in public praise. They may consider it too awkward to shout “Amen!’ Still, that doesn’t mean they don’t love God.

If fact, don’t you think it is about time that somebody spoke up for the nerds who are stigmatized by the sanctified saints? Nerds may not praise God or express their love for God like high profile and loud sounding saints. However, the way they love God is just as legitimate and just as lovely to God.

Nerds consider the heavens and shout: “The heavens declare his glory!” They study anatomy and realize that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. They research rocks in geology and conclude that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. They delve into subatomic particles and discover that God is everywhere.

They do trigonometry and understand the Holy Trinity. They use physics as a foundation for their faith. They know that two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time, therefore, they are singularly devoted to God. They are unconcerned about their outfits because they do not serve God with form or fashion. They are scientists who are sure that there must be a God somewhere.

How about a shout out to the NWLG! They are the few. The proud. The Nerds Who Love God! Give ‘em some love!
