Don't let pride keep you from considering:

Creation

* Without DNA there is no life in this world.

* DNA is one of the most amazingly complex chemicals around. It contains the information necessary to build and reproduce an organism.

* Consider the probability that even if you have all the components of DNA sitting around together, that they would form themselves into DNA. In our bodies, DNA is put together by a complex system of protein "machines". These "machines" are in turn cranked out by our DNA. You can't have one without the other.

Sin Immeasurable

by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon

"Who can understand his errors?"—Psalm 19:12.

Regarding praying or enemies, for me it starts out like, "Ok, I'll hold my nose and do this." But after a while, anger and bitterness dissipate and I come around to wishing the people well. It'd be really hard to pray for someone while simultaneously holding on to hatred for them.

Our friend John Connell is gone now. We still don't really know what happened to him. Was it all an accident? Did someone plan his demise? Maybe we will never know.

Sitting on the Fence

You believe that God exists, but do not do what God has asked of you. He created you and this whole universe. He knows what is best. He has chosen to reveal himself in the Bible, our instruction manual. What does it tell us to do? Put our trust in Him.

So why do that now, when it would mean changing your life? Why not wait until you're old and about to die? There are many reasons to put your trust in God.

Have you been betrayed by men so bad that your soul is just torn apart? You gave your best, all your love and trust, and the object of your love just trampled on all that was good in you?

There is one who understands your pan completely. He experienced that same pain. He loved men more completely than anyone loved before. He literally gave men the world. But men trampled on his love. They nailed him to a cross

God himself came into the world and walked among us: Jesus walked with men, taught them, tried to show them the meaning of love. He healed them. He fed them when they were hungry. He cast out the demons who tormented men. So what did men do? They beat him until he was nearly unrecognizable as a man. They nailed him to a tree and let him die there.

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. 41 Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
